WWE announces Hall of Fame ceremony date and location

The date and location for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony are now officially locked in.

It was announced today that the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will be held at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas on Friday, April 17. The start time is listed as 9 p.m. Pacific/midnight Eastern, meaning the show will take place shortly after that night’s SmackDown at T-Mobile Arena concludes.

Broadcast details for the ceremony have not been revealed yet. Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and Demolition are the first three acts confirmed for the HOF class. WWE notes that more inductees will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the ceremony are going on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, March 10. A pre-sale will begin one day prior to that on March 9.

Dolby Live is listed as having a capacity of 5,200 seats. While Mania is back in Vegas for the second consecutive year, the HOF venue is not the same as it was in 2025. Last year’s ceremony was held at the BleauLive Theater at the Fontainebleau hotel.

WrestleMania 42 is taking place at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19. WWE and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority have partnered together for the event, along with associated WrestleMania week shows like Raw, SmackDown, the HOF ceremony, and the WWE World convention.
