WWE has officially announced that two-day combo tickets for WrestleMania 42, slated for Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, will be available for purchase starting Wednesday, September 24 at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.com[3][4]. This marks a highly anticipated opportunity for WWE fans to secure seats for one of wrestling’s biggest spectacles, which returns to the “Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World” for the second consecutive year.
WrestleMania 42 will continue the momentum generated by the record-breaking WrestleMania 41, held at the same venue in April 2025, which drew a staggering crowd of 124,693 across two nights and became the highest-grossing event in WWE history[1][4]. This upcoming event will be the third time Las Vegas hosts WWE’s flagship event, following the storied WrestleMania IX in 1993 and last year’s record-setter.
Fans eager to get early access can pre-register for pre-sale opportunities right now at WWE’s official site, wwe.com/wrestlemania42-pre-registration[3]. Additionally, WWE is offering Priority Passes through exclusive partner On Location, which include premium seating, hospitality perks, Superstar meet-and-greets, exclusive photo opportunities, and more. Deposits are currently being accepted for these packages, providing a chance to secure premium experiences ahead of the general public[3][4].
According to sources close to WWE, the decision to keep WrestleMania in Las Vegas for 2026 reflects both the success of the previous year’s event and the city’s strong partnership with WWE and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). WWE President Nick Khan expressed enthusiasm for returning to Allegiant Stadium: “Las Vegas helped to deliver the biggest WrestleMania of all time, shattering records and delivering an amazing week for fans around the world. We look forward to once again working with the talented and effective teams at the LVCVA and Allegiant Stadium to bring WrestleMania back to the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World.”[1]
This two-night format, established in 2021 to expand fan access and build atmosphere, continues to grow in popularity. The show will once again feature top WWE superstars from both Raw and SmackDown brands, promising blockbuster matches and memorable moments. Allegiant Stadium’s massive capacity and state-of-the-art amenities allow WWE to deliver a world-class event on par with historic WrestleManias, enhanced further by Las Vegas’s unique entertainment appeal.
Industry insiders close to Creative have hinted that WrestleMania 42 will feature even bigger surprises and star-studded appearances, leveraging Las Vegas’s status as an entertainment hub. The ongoing partnership with On Location ensures fans can choose a premium WrestleMania experience with exclusive access, something that has become a staple for high-profile WWE events.
WrestleMania 42 also marks a notable milestone as it will be the first major WWE event to livestream on ESPN’s direct-to-consumer streaming service in the United States, starting a new five-year broadcast rights deal set to begin in April 2026[2]. This groundbreaking partnership aligns with WWE’s ongoing efforts to grow its digital footprint and engage fans across platforms.
For fans planning their WrestleMania pilgrimage, this announcement confirms April 18 and 19, 2026, as the dates to remember. The excitement continues to build as the September 24 ticket sale date approaches, with plenty of anticipation for both the in-ring action and the citywide festivities that tradition holds for WrestleMania Week.
