WWE reveals combo ticket on-sale date for SummerSlam 2026
Though most of the focus is on WrestleMania week right now, WWE is already looking ahead to its biggest event of the summer.
The company has announced that two-day combo tickets for SummerSlam 2026 will go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 1 at 10 a.m. Central time. U.S Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is hosting the event on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2 — making this the second two-night SummerSlam in WWE history.
Before the general on-sale, there will be a ticket pre-sale on April 30. Chase Freedom cardholders will get access to an exclusive pre-sale one day prior to that on April 29.
WWE has not yet announced when single-night tickets are going on sale.
Tourism organization Minnesota Sports and Events is partnering with WWE for SummerSlam, with the organization calling this a “major moment” for the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota.
“SummerSlam coming to U.S. Bank Stadium marks a major moment for Minneapolis and for our state as a whole,” said MNSE president and CEO Wendy Blackshaw. “This is a truly global event, and we’re excited to welcome fans from across the country and around the world while showcasing Minnesota as a premier destination for world-class sports and entertainment. We encourage fans to secure their tickets early for what will be an incredible weekend.”
Rumors have circulated for months regarding Brock Lesnar — who once called Minnesota home — potentially retiring at SummerSlam 2026. There’s been no confirmation of that, and Lesnar has not revealed his retirement timeline aside from saying he’s only back in WWE “for a short time.” The opening match of WrestleMania 42 night two this Sunday will see Lesnar face off against new WWE star Oba Femi.
