WrestleMania 42, also promoted as WrestleMania Vegas, is an upcoming 2026 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It will be the 42nd annual WrestleMania and will take place as a two-night event on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
Originally set to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on April 11 and 12, 2026, WrestleMania 42 was relocated to Las Vegas in May 2025 and pushed back a week. WrestleMania 42 will be the second consecutive WrestleMania held at the venue, after WrestleMania 41 in 2025, and the third in the Las Vegas area, including WrestleMania IX in 1993. This is also the second time WrestleMania will be held at the same venue in consecutive years, after WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V in 1988 and 1989, which were held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This will also be the first WrestleMania to livestream on ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service in the United States, which began a five-year rights deal with WWE in September 2025.
