WWE has officially announced the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event for Saturday, May 23, 2026. The show will emanate live from the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

This marks a historic occasion, as it is the first time in over 30 years that the program has been held in the state of Indiana, and the first televised WWE broadcast in Fort Wayne since 2014.

The timing of the show creates a major weekend for the professional wrestling industry. With Saturday Night’s Main Event scheduled for May 23 during Memorial Day weekend, the event will take place between SmackDown on Friday and AEW’s Double or Nothing 2026 pay-per-view on Sunday. Additionally, it serves as one of the final major stops for the roster before traveling to Turin for the inaugural Clash in Italy Premium Live Event on May 31.

Fans looking to attend the live broadcast can purchase tickets starting Friday, March 20, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. For those who want to get ahead of the crowd, an exclusive presale begins on Thursday, March 19, at 10 a.m. local time.

For fans watching at home in the United States, the special will air live exclusively on Peacock. As the road to the summer season heats up, this Indiana showcase will likely feature the top stars from both WWE RAW and SmackDown in high-stakes matchups.
