WWE has recently released new details about the date and venue for the 2027 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. The event is expected to take place on February 6, 2027, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The 2027 edition will mark WWE’s return to the United States for the Royal Rumble after the 2026 event took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will also be the third time Arizona has hosted the annual spectacle, following previous editions in 2013 and 2019. Announcing the same on their X account on November 2, 2026, WWE stated, “CWWE, in partnership with Arizona Sports & Events Alliance and Legends Global, today announced the 40th annual #RoyalRumble will be held on Saturday, February 6 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona1. The 2027 Royal Rumble is expected to feature the traditional men’s and women’s 30-person Royal Rumble matches, and the respective winners are expected to earn championship opportunities at WrestleMania 43, setting the stage for some of the biggest rivalries heading into WWE’s biggest annual show.
It is important to note that the WWE Royal Rumble is an annual wrestling event that is one of WWE’s premier “Big Five” events (alongside WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank) that traditionally kicks off the road to WrestleMania. The Rumble will occur one day before AEW Dynasty takes place in Liverpool, England, meaning WWE and AEW will have major events on the same weekend yet again, though it will be the rare occurrence where WWE doesn’t put an event head-to-head against their rival, according to reports. The announcement is part of a multi-year partnership between TKO Group Holdings and the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance.
