WWE has confirmed that Crown Jewel will return in 2026, taking place on 7 November at the Riyadh Season Stadium in Saudi Arabia. The announcement ends uncertainty over whether the event would feature this year and extends WWE's ongoing partnership with Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority. Crown Jewel is a notable fixture on the wrestling calendar as it pits the men's and women's champions of the Raw and SmackDown brands against one another for a unique Crown Jewel title and trophy.

This marks only the second time the event has been staged in Saudi Arabia, following its 2024 debut there; last year's edition was held in Perth, Australia. Recent winners include Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes on the men's side, and Stephanie Vaquer and Liv Morgan among the women, though current champions CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Liv Morgan and Chelsea Green all face fresh challengers in the months ahead that could reshape who arrives at Crown Jewel holding gold. The event joins Sunday Night's Main Event, Money in the Bank, Survivor Series: WarGames and Wrestlepalooza: Perth to complete WWE's late-2026 premium live event schedule.
