Update on WrestleMania location (Patreon)

New Orleans is a likely host for WWE WrestleMania in 2026.

WrestleVotes has posted on Twitter that WWE is set to announce WrestleMania's host city before Mania this year, which Fightful Select has been led to believe is also New Orleans.

Those we've spoken to claim that New Orleans for 2026 has actually been the plan for years, with it being the idea internally dating to the last regime. However, with the 2025 location being in flux last year, many in the company thought there was a chance that could change.

There are some WWE partners that also had word that New Orleans was the plan, barring some unforeseen change.

For those asking about a Saudi or UK WrestleMania, those in the company we spoke to don't expect it before 2028.
