In 2026, it will be happening in a familiar place as it's being held in the same city for back-to-back years, an occurrence that hasn't happened since the early days of the event. Here is what to know about where WrestleMania 42 will take place.
Where is WrestleMania 42?
WrestleMania 42 will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the second straight year it will take place in the stadium. Home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, it will be the third WrestleMania to take place in the city, which first hosted WrestleMania 9 in 1993.
Allegiant Stadium capacity
Allegiant Stadium isn't a big stadium, with a capacity of 65,000 for football games that makes it one of the smallest in the NFL. The WrestleMania stage will reduce the capacity with sections of seats blocked off, but it will be made up with floor and ringside seats.
We know what the attendance could be. For WrestleMania 41, the announced attendance of night one was 58,538, and night two was 60,103, although those numbers are likely inflated. More than 40,00 tickets have been sold for each night.
When is WrestleMania 42?
WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18-19.
