WWE has officially confirmed that the 40th annual Royal Rumble will take place on Saturday, February 6, 2027, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The announcement ends months of speculation over the exact date of the milestone event, which marks the company’s return to the United States for the Royal Rumble following the 2026 edition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The editorial team has reviewed the newly released scheduling data, ticket timelines, and television broadcast logistics for the upcoming calendar.
State Farm Stadium Hosting Milestone Anniversary
The upcoming Premium Live Event marks the third time the state of Arizona has hosted the Royal Rumble. Previous iterations took place in Phoenix at the US Airways Center in January 2013 and at Chase Field in January 2019. Moving the 40th edition to State Farm Stadium in Glendale places the show inside the home of the Arizona Cardinals, shifting the spectacle from indoor arenas and baseball ballparks to an NFL venue.
The 2027 event serves as WWE’s return to the United States for the Royal Rumble following the 2026 edition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. For fans watching from Germany, the show streams live and exclusively on Netflix, while viewers in the United States can watch via the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited subscription.
