Location confirmed for WWE Elimination Chamber 2026
For the first time since 2021, WWE Elimination Chamber will be returning to the United States and in a new city in 2026.
First reported last Friday in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and confirmed by Wrestlenomics Tuesday, the annual event will head to Chicago on Saturday, February 28. Neither our Dave Meltzer or Wrestlenomics could confirm the venue, but the Allstate Arena has been a constant for past WWE events in the city.
From Meltzer:
“The Rumble date is pretty locked in. It wouldn’t shock me to see the Chamber date changed a week in either direction if they want to compete with AEW.”
The last time Elimination Chamber took place in the U.S. was in February 2021, when it took place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, during the pandemic. Since then, it headed to Saudi Arabia (2022); Montreal, Canada (2023); and Perth, Australia (2024).
It’s the third official WWE premium live event on tap for 2026.
Current WWE PLE Schedule 2026:
- WWE Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, January 31
- WWE Elimination Chamber in Chicago on Saturday, February 28
- WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 18 & Sunday, April 19
