The beginning of each calendar year up until early April is the most anticipated among the professional wrestling fan community. That's because it is the start of WrestleMania season. It all officially starts with the Royal Rumble, which takes place in late January. The winners of the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches will earn a world championship match of their choosing at WrestleMania.
This year, WrestleMania 40 will take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa., on Saturday, Apr. 6, and Sunday, Apr. 7. Since 2007 (except 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), WrestleMania has primarily been held at football stadiums. That allows tens of thousands of fans from all over the world to travel to see professional wrestling's biggest show of the year.
Given that we know where WrestleMania 40 will take place, where will WWE bring it's biggest show of the year in 2025 and beyond?
WWE WrestleMania location for 2025
During the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby, WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque revealed that WrestleMania 41 will be taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. on Apr. 19 and 20, 2025.
In case you haven’t heard: @WWE is on fire right now.

There’s only one place that can handle what we’re bringing to #WrestleMania 41…

This will be the latest that WrestleMania has ever taken place, as the event normally took place during late March or early April. Instead, it will take place in mid-April. This isn't necessarily shocking, considering WWE president Nick Khan said that WrestleMania is unlikely to go head-to-head against the Final Four again.
WWE WrestleMania future locations predictions for 2026 and more
Let's take a crack at predicting the next two WrestleMania locations.
- WrestleMania 42 (2026) prediction: Lucas Oil Stadium -- Indianapolis, Ind.
- WrestleMania 43 (2027) prediction: New NISSAN Stadium - Nashville, Tenn.
Before Las Vegas became the favorite, Minneapolis, Minn. was considered the favorite to host WrestleMania 41.
Fightful Select (subscription required )reported last July that US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, home of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, was heavily discussed as a potential and "even likely" location for WrestleMania 41. Additionally, representatives from Minneapolis were in attendance at SoFi Stadium at WrestleMania 39, per Fightful Select.
WrestleMania US Bank Stadium would have been a sight to behold, given the venue's glass structure. But, US Bank Stadium will instead host SummerSlam in 2026, which will be a two-night event. So, WrestleMania in 2026 is out of the question.
One venue that could host WrestleMania 42 is Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.
WWE and Indiana Sports Corp announced a new partnership that will bring Royal Rumble 2025 to Lucas Oil Stadium, and a future two-night WrestleMania and two-night SummerSlam. Given the opening for WrestleMania 42 in 2026, Lucas Oil Stadium makes a ton of sense. It will also be the first time that Indianapolis hosted the "Showcase of the Immortals" since WrestleMania 8 at the old Hoosier Dome in 1992.
However, it will have to be after Apr. 4 and 6, 2026, as Lucas Oil Stadium will be hosting the NCAA Men's Final Four. As mentioned earlier, WrestleMania 41 is being held later in 2025 due to avoiding the Final Four. This is just speculation, but 2026 could be the earliest Indianapolis gets a WrestleMania.
WrestleMania 43, meanwhile, does appear to have a confirmed location. Tennessee Titans president and CEO revealed during an interview with 104-5 The Zone last May that WWE had committed to bringing WrestleMania 43 to New NISSAN Stadium in Nashville. This will be the new, 60,000-seat home stadium for the Titans, which is scheduled to open in 2027. Given that WrestleMania takes place in either late March or early April, the stadium seemingly should be finished by then.
We will continue to keep you updated on future WrestleMania locations once they are made official.
