WWE & Joe Hand Promotions Bringing SummerSlam 2026 to Bars and Restaurants

Joe Hand Promotions, which distributes premium live sports to the commercial market, announced today that it will be delivering WWE SummerSlam 2026 to bars and restaurants nationwide next month. This follows JHP and WWE collaborating for WrestleMania 42 earlier this year.

Speaking on the announcement via a press release, JHP President of Promotions Joe Hand Jr. commented, “WrestleMania’s continued growth is a strong indicator of the demand for WWE in commercial venues, and we expect this trend to continue with more exciting events on the horizon like the highly anticipated SummerSlam.”

He added, “Our focus is on making these events as accessible as possible for bar and restaurant owners, allowing them to capitalize on these marquee events, whether through our traditional commercial distribution partners or streaming via the Joe Hand Promotions App. Different businesses prefer different delivery methods, and our goal is to provide flexibility while continuing to support the reliable platforms our customers have trusted for years.”

Per JHP, SummerSlam will be available to commercial establishments through a WWE subscription with JHP, accessible through DirecTV for Business and the JHP App.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 is scheduled for August 1-2. It will be held at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both nights will air live on the ESPN App in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
