WWE WrestleMania 42 start time changed
WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada, will now have a brand new start time.
With still a couple of months left for WrestleMania 42, WWE recently listed its start time as 2:30 PM local time on its website. The previously listed start time was 4:00 PM local time.
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. While the new time shows 2:30 PM Pacific Time slot, it is currently unknown if it represents the start of the main card or the beginning of the Kickoff show.
The new time could signify the kickoff show since, in the past few years, WrestleMania kickoff shows have been known to run for at least a couple of hours. Although the new time could also hint toward a creative shift.
Since turning into a two-night event, WrestleMania has consistently featured seven matches on each of its cards. An early start time could potentially mean featuring more matches on their PLE card.
As of now, only Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk and Liv Morgan vs. Stephanie Vaquer are the only two confirmed matches for WrestleMania 42.
