The 2026 Royal Rumble will have a 10PM start time in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia, which is a record for the latest start time
for a WWE premium live event ever.
The 10PM start time is to accommodate the rest of the
western world, with the show starting at 2PM ET / 11AM PT in
the United States, 5PM GMT in the United Kingdom, and 6PM
CET in Central Europe.
“No staying up late this time,” the Netflix UK X account
posted along with a video promoting the Rumble.
While U.S. and European fans will not be staying up late to
watch it, the approximately 20,000 fans in Riyadh will have
a harsher time, with the event expected to end by around 2AM
local time.
