WWE’s biggest show of the year is going international for the first time ever.
On September 10th, a press release issued in Arabic on Snapchat by Saudi GEA Chairman Turki Alalshikhin revealed that Wrestlemania 43 will be held in Saudi Arabia in 2027, and we now have additional confirmation that this is the case.
Following this revelation, PWInsider are now reporting that the press release, which has since been taken down, was released accidentally. However, they note that the news is legitimate with an official announcement pending.
“The press release was yanked shortly after it went out, as it was apparently sent out accidentally before it was scheduled to be publicly issued. PWInsider.com can confirm, however, that the story is 100% legitimate and an announcement is coming very soon, bringing Wrestlemania to an international location outside of North American for the first time ever.”

Fightfu Select‘s Sean Ross Sapp additionally addressed the situation on X, reporting that an announcement was set for this Friday in Las Vegas prior to the news leaking.
Saudi Arabia is also slated to host the 2026 Royal Rumble in Riyadh, in addition to WrestleMania 43. Both events are part of a 10-year strategic, multi-platform partnership between WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority, aligned with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on WrestleMania 43 heading to Saudi Arabia in 2027 as soon as we hear more.
