WWE Crown Jewel is set to return to Riyadh on November 7 as part of the city’s Riyadh Season sports and entertainment calendar, the General Entertainment Authority announced Tuesday. The event will be held at the Riyadh Season Stadium located in the King Abdullah Financial District, featuring some of WWE’s most prominent wrestlers in a night of high-profile matches.
This year’s Crown Jewel event will highlight champion-versus-champion contests in both the men’s and women’s divisions. Last year’s event saw Seth “Freakin” Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer being crowned as the inaugural Crown Jewel champions, earning specially designed championship belts adorned with 50 carats of diamonds to represent the event’s “best of the best” theme.
Tickets for the 2026 Crown Jewel are expected to go on sale soon through the Webook platform. The event will be broadcast in the United States via the ESPN app under the ESPN Unlimited plan and will be available internationally on Netflix.
WWE’s partnership with Saudi Arabia began in 2018 and has since brought multiple major WWE events to the Kingdom, including Crown Jewel, Elimination Chamber, King & Queen of the Ring, Night of Champions, and Royal Rumble. This ongoing collaboration underscores Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a host of major international entertainment and sporting events.
Looking ahead, the partnership is poised to reach a new milestone in 2027 when Riyadh Season will serve as the host city for WrestleMania 43, marking the first time WWE’s flagship event will take place outside North America. The inclusion of Crown Jewel in Riyadh Season continues to expand the entertainment offerings in the Saudi capital, reinforcing Riyadh’s position as a global destination for large-scale international events.
