Overview

  • TKO and the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance announced at a press conference Tuesday that Royal Rumble 2027 will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale sometime in February 2027, with no exact day yet released.
  • The announcement is one element of a three-year deal to bring seven events from TKO brands to Arizona, including Noche UFC on Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena and the PBR World Finals May 20–23, 2027.
  • State Farm Stadium, which holds more than 60,000 people and has a retractable roof, has hosted WrestleMania XXVI and multiple Super Bowls and will give Royal Rumble access to a large stadium setting.
  • WWE has not announced a general ticket on-sale date for Royal Rumble 2027 but is offering presale registration on its website for fans who want early access.
  • TKO executives and local officials framed the slate as a jobs and tourism driver for Arizona, and they say the state-level partnership could serve as a model for bringing more major live sports and entertainment to other markets.
