WWE has officially confirmed the details for the next edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The company announced on March 12 that the special will take place on Saturday, May 23. The show is scheduled to be held at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The event marks WWE’s return to the city for a televised show after more than a decade. Fort Wayne last hosted a televised WWE event in 2014, making the upcoming special a notable return for the promotion.
The location also carries historical significance for the revived series. This will be the first time Saturday Night’s Main Event has been held in the state of Indiana since 1992.
WWE also revealed ticket sale information for the event. General ticket sales will begin Friday, March 20, at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster.
Fans will have the opportunity to purchase tickets earlier through a presale that begins Thursday, March 19, at 10 a.m. local time.
The company confirmed that the special will stream live in the United States exclusively on Peacock.
Saturday Night’s Main Event recently returned as part of WWE’s strategy to expand its lineup of network specials. The shows typically feature major matches and appearances while serving as a bridge between weekly television programming and premium live events.
With the May 23 edition now confirmed, WWE continues to build its 2026 event schedule following the WrestleMania season.
