WWE WrestleMania is the time of year when virtually every professional wrestling fan tunes in. That's going to be the case for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, NV and it's going be the same for years and years to come.
One of the things that wrestling fans know all too well, though, is that location is everything for WrestleMania and any big event. If you pick a poor venue for a show, particularly one that's rightly referred to as the "Grandaddy of Them All", it can hang like a dark cloud over the entire event. The energy, the setting, and everything go into making WrestleMania so special.
Las Vegas is a can't-miss location for WrestleMania 41, without question. However, after seeing all that went into such a grand stage and setting from WWE, it's always fair to ask about where WrestleMania will be located in the future years, namely for the next four years or so.
WWE WrestleMania location for 2026
While many expected Indianapolis to potentially be the location for WrestleMania 42 in 2026, next year's WrestleMania will be hosted in New Orleans, LA at the Caesars Superdome. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced on the Friday, Feb. 21 episode of SmackDown that the Big Easy would host WrestleMania 42 on April 11 and 12 in 2026.
This will be the third time that WWE has hosted WrestleMania in New Orleans, the first of which came at WrestleMania XXX in 2014 and the second coming just four years later in 2018. Now, after an eight-year wait, the Grandaddy of Them All returns to New Orleans.
WWE WrestleMania future locations predictions for 2026 and more
Beyond New Orleans, we have no confirmed locations for the biggest PLE of the year for WWE. So, let's take a crack at predicting the next two WrestleMania locations.
- WrestleMania 43 (2027) prediction: New NISSAN Stadium - Nashville, TN
- WrestleMania 44 (2028) prediction: Lucas Oil Stadium - Indianapolis, IN
- WrestleMania 45 (2029) prediction: US Bank Stadium - Minneapolis, MN
WrestleMania 43 does not yet 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.
However, WrestleMania 43 could also head to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. But if not, it would make sense for 2028 and WrestleMania 44.
In 2024, 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. It would've made sense for 2026 but the venue will host the NCAA Tournament's Men's Final Four, which WWE has mentioned wanting to avoid conflicting with. We're predicting that it will head there in 2028, though.
Before Las Vegas became the favorite, Minneapolis, MN 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. That's why we're looking toward 2029 as a potential fit for the Twin Cities.
