WWE WrestleMania 42 start time change
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 has informed ticket holders that the show will now start at 2:30 p.m. Pacific time. The change has also been made on WWE’s website. The previously listed start time was 4 p.m. Pacific.
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, the beginning of the Kickoff show, or whether this is just WWE allowing fans to enter the show earlier now that NXT Stand & Deliver has been moved away from WrestleMania weekend.
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, whether on the main card or pre-show.
As of now, Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk and Liv Morgan vs. Stephanie Vaquer are the only two confirmed matches for WrestleMania 42.
