WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Location, Start Time, Match Card, How to Watch & More

We have reached the most anticipated portion of the professional wrestling calendar. At the end of every January, WWE presents the Royal Rumble premium live event. This is the official start of WrestleMania season.

On Saturday, Jan. 27, the 2024 Royal Rumble event takes place. Of course, the headlining matches will be the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches. 30 wrestlers in each match will compete for a world championship match at WrestleMania 40, which takes place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa. on Saturday, Apr. 6, and Sunday, Apr. 7. The only way to win this match is to throw your opponents over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. The last competitor standing will win the Royal Rumble and earn a title match of their choosing at "the Grandest Stage of Them All."

Other matches scheduled for the card include Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending against Randy Orton, LA Knight, and A.J. Styles in a Fatal Four Way match, and United States Champion Logan Paul defending against Kevin Owens.

For those who want to know what time the 2024 Royal Rumble begins and how to watch it, we have you covered.
