New Orleans to Host WrestleMania 42 in 2026
While the WWE gears-up to host its highly-anticipated WrestleMania event this April, the organization has revealed the host city for next year’s edition.
WrestleMania 42 will take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12, 2026. This isn’t the first time New Orleans has hosted the coveted event; the city first held the show at the Caesars Superdome for WrestleMania XXX in 2014, followed by WrestleMania 34 in 2018.
“Finally, WrestleMania is coming back to New Orleans,” Johnson, TKO Board Member and 10-time WWE World Champion, said in a statement. “Next year, 2026, WrestleMania 42, live from the Superdome in one of the greatest cities on earth, New Orleans, Louisiana!”
Alongside the two-night stadium event, the WWE is set to bring events like Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE World, and the 2026 Hall of Fame ceremony to New Orleans, as well as a variety of community outreach events.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said that “we are ecstatic to host WrestleMania 42 in New Orleans next year.”
“Hosting this iconic event three times in the last 12 years is an honor we do not take lightly,” Landry said. “I want to congratulate the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation for their successful efforts on this project. We look forward to showing WWE fans from around the world all our great state has to offer!”
