WWE Crown Jewel 2026 has been listed to take place at The Venue (ANB Arena). Previously, the event was scheduled to take place at the Riyadh Season Stadium on November 7. However, on October 28, Riyadh Season confirmed that the event will no longer be taking place at the venue and that new tickets would be released again.

New Venue For WWE Crown Jewel
The ticketing page for Crown Jewel was recently updated, and now it lists “The Venue” as the new location for the show. It appears that the event is still scheduled to take place on November 7. But as of publishing time, tickets for the show haven’t been put on sale.
Unlike the Riyadh Season Stadium in King Abdullah Financial District, which had a capacity of 25,000, The Venue is an indoor arena with a maximum capacity of 8,000 people. The October 31 boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli is also scheduled to take place in the same arena.
In recent weeks, there has been a lot of pressure on WWE from fans to cancel the show altogether. During a town hall meeting held by TKO President Mark Shapiro on October 28, he addressed the ongoing Middle East situation. The meeting took place over Zoom, where Shapiro reportedly called the safety of the employees “paramount.” This meeting took place before the initial venue change announcement was first made.
Despite large concerns from fans, WWE doesn’t seem to want to cancel its trip to the Middle East. Crown Jewel will air on ESPN Unlimited at 12 PM ET on November 7, and on Netflix for international fans.
