WWE is moving Crown Jewel, but currently just to another venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Crown Jewel is still scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at an unnamed venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
2026 WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event (PLE) has been announced to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 7. The event, which has been annually hosted in Riyadh for six of its seven occurrences, was moved from its original venue, Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD, due to security concerns in the region. WWE confirmed that all ticket holders will receive a full refund and the tickets will be re-released within 48 hours.
Despite the U.S. State Department ordering nonessential employees to leave Saudi Arabia, WWE decided to proceed with the event in Riyadh. The Crown Jewel PLE, established in 2018, is unique for having its own championship match, contested only once a year by the top men's and women's champions from Raw and SmackDown.
