WWE today announced that the 2026 Elimination Chamber
premium live event will be held on Saturday, February 28
live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
While WWE is a regular in the Chicago market, this will mark
the first time since SummerSlam 1994 that WWE has run the
United Center, the home of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago
Blackhawks. WWE typically runs its shows at the Allstate
Arena in the neighboring Rosemont.
“Famous for its phenomenally passionate fans, Chicago is a
city that WWE Superstars consistently circle on the calendar
every year,” said Alex Varga, Co-Head of Revenue, WWE. “We
look forward to bringing our first Premium Live Event to the
United Center in more than 30 years in partnership with
Choose Chicago, whose work continues to solidify the city’s
position as a world-class sports and entertainment
destination.”
“WWE’s highly anticipated return to the United Center is
going to electrify Chicago,” said Kristen Reynolds,
President and CEO of Choose Chicago. “Major live events like
this showcase Chicago as a year-round destination, filling
our hotels, restaurants, and arenas with fans from around
the country and broadcasting our energy and hospitality to
millions more tuning in. Thank you to WWE for choosing
Chicago—this is another win for our city and a testament to
why no one does big moments better than we do.”
“More than 30 years ago, the United Center opened its doors
with a historic SummerSlam event, and we’re thrilled to
welcome the return of a WWE Premium Live Event to the
arena,” said Joe Myhra, EVP and COO of the United Center.
“We look forward to once again showcasing WWE’s incredible
talent and bring fans from across the country together for
an unforgettable night in Chicago.”
