With just a few months left for WWE WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the promotion still has not announced a date for it. However, thanks to recent rumors and reports, fans might get an idea of the potential event date.
According to Brandon Thurston and John Pollock, WrestleMania 43 next year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is internally slated for Apr. 10 and 11, 2027. As per the reports, while WWE has not yet officially announced the dates, the people involved with planning the show are reportedly working with that specific weekend in mind. In addition to this, an official WWE WrestleMania 43 announcement is expected by the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel event.
Earlier this year, WWE Royal Rumble 2026 took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was then followed up by Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia in Jun. 2026. Crown Jewel is now scheduled to take place on Nov. 7, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia again.
As of now, only two matches have been confirmed for Crown Jewel: Raw’s World Heavyweight Champion versus SmackDown’s Undisputed WWE Champion, and Raw’s Women’s World Champion vs. SmackDown’s WWE Women’s Champion.

Last month, while speaking to The Varsity, WWE CEO Nick Khan opened up about the promotion's creative plans for WrestleMania 43. “It’s never been outside of the US or Canada. It’s going to be in Riyadh. It’s going to be a significant show. We’re already across the creative. Of course, that’s subject to any injury… we’re already across the creative.
“And in addition to that, we announced two shows from the MSG Theater. WrestleMania Saturday will have a watch along party followed by either NXT or AAA. And the next day, MSG Theater, a watchalong party, followed by either NXT or AAA, whichever one didn’t go on the Saturday night. So, we’re also going to do viewing parties and all of these things from the US and other countries. We think, ultimately, the fans will go home happy,” Khan finished.
