WWE announces new date for Money in the Bank 2026

WWE has made a slight adjustment to its plans for Money in the Bank 2026.

It was announced today that the PLE will now take place on Sunday, September 6. It’s still being held at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, just a bit later than the originally planned August 29 date.

“WWE, in conjunction with the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and Legends Global, has announced that Money in the Bank will now take place Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026 — one week later than originally announced — at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans,” WWE wrote.

“Money in the Bank features WWE’s biggest Superstars as they battle to earn a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match at a time and place of their choosing anytime within the next year.”

New Orleans hosting Money in the Bank is a make-good after WrestleMania 42 was originally earmarked for the city. Instead, WrestleMania is heading back to Las Vegas for the second consecutive year. New Orleans will still host a future WrestleMania, but there is no year attached yet. All that’s confirmed at the moment is WrestleMania 42 in Vegas (2026) and WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia (2027).

Ticket information for Money in the Bank will be announced in the coming months.

Money in the Bank will follow SummerSlam on the 2026 WWE PLE calendar, with Minneapolis hosting the two-night SummerSlam on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2.

This is the latest that Money in the Bank has ever been held. Until now, it’s always been a May, June, or July PLE.

September 6 will be the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
