WWE Announces Location For Royal Rumble 2027

WWE has confirmed that the 2027 Royal Rumble will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, bringing the event back to the United States after this year’s show was held in Saudi Arabia.

The announcement was made Tuesday as part of a new multi-year partnership between TKO, the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance and Legends Global. WWE also confirmed that Royal Rumble will take place in February in 2027, though an exact date has not yet been announced.

“WWE Royal Rumble – State Farm Stadium, February 2027 The 40th annual Royal Rumble will take place in February 2027, marking the first time the WWE Premium Live Event will be held at State Farm Stadium. This will be Arizona’s third time hosting Royal Rumble following previous editions in 2019 and 2013. Royal Rumble will be headlined by the 30-man and 30-woman Royal Rumble Matches, with the winners each receiving a championship match opportunity at WrestleMania 43. Ahead of the general ticket on-sale date, which will be announced in the coming months, fans can register now to receive an exclusive presale offer by visiting wwe.com/RoyalRumble27.”

The move marks a return to the U.S., as the 2026 Royal Rumble became the first traditional edition of the event held outside North America. That show took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

State Farm Stadium previously hosted WrestleMania 26 in 2010 and has regularly hosted major sporting events, including multiple Super Bowls. Royal Rumble 2027 will add another WWE premium live event to the venue’s history.

Alongside Rumble, TKO also announced that Noche UFC will head to Desert Diamond Arena in September 2026, while the PBR World Finals: Championship will be held in May 2027.

As part of @TKOGrp's partnership with the @azsportalliance, the 40th annual #RoyalRumble is heading to Arizona and @StateFarmStdm in February 2027!
