WWE is counting down to the ticket on-sale for the 40th annual Royal Rumble. Tickets for the event, set for Saturday, February 6, 2027, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, go on sale one week from yesterday. WWE posted the countdown yesterday at 1:44 PM MST. Check out the official post down below:
Royal Rumble Ticket Dates And Times
WWE announced the event on November 2, in partnership with the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance and Legends Global. According to WWE's announcement, tickets go out in 3 windows:
- Club WWE presale: Monday, November 16, at 10:00 AM MST
- General presale: Tuesday, November 17, at 10:00 AM MST
- General on-sale: Wednesday, November 18, at 10:00 AM MST via SeatGeek
Arizona is on Mountain Standard Time, so those times are also local in Glendale. Ahead of the general on-sale, WWE is taking registrations for an exclusive presale offer at wwe.com/RoyalRumble27. VIP packages are also available through On Location, TKO's official VIP experience provider, with premium seating, VIP access, all-inclusive hospitality and meet-and-greets with WWE Superstars.
What The Rumble Winners Get
The show will be headlined by the 30-man and 30-woman Royal Rumble matches. Each winner earns a championship match at WrestleMania 43. In a Royal Rumble match, the participants enter at timed intervals instead of all starting in the ring together, and the last one left in the ring wins.
Royal Rumble weekend also has a Friday event. Desert Diamond Arena will host a double event on Friday, February 5, with Friday Night SmackDown and AAA Road to Rey de Reyes on the same night.
Arizona's 3rd Royal Rumble
State Farm Stadium is a retractable-roof stadium in Glendale, a suburb west of Phoenix, and the home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals. It opened in 2006 and has hosted 3 Super Bowls. The 2027 show will be its first Royal Rumble, but not its first major WWE event: the stadium hosted WrestleMania XXVI on March 28, 2010, in front of 72,219 fans, the first WrestleMania held in Arizona.
This will be the 3rd time Arizona has hosted the Royal Rumble. The 2013 event was held on January 27 at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. John Cena won the Royal Rumble match that night for the 2nd time, after 2008, and The Rock beat CM Punk in the main event to win the WWE Championship, ending Punk's reign at 434 days.
The Rumble returned on January 27, 2019, at Chase Field in Phoenix, where WWE reported 48,193 fans in attendance. Seth Rollins won the men's Royal Rumble match, last eliminating Braun Strowman, and Becky Lynch won the women's match, last eliminating Charlotte Flair.
Where The Last Rumble Left Off
The 2026 Royal Rumble took place on January 31 at Riyadh Season Stadium in Saudi Arabia, the first traditional Royal Rumble held outside North America. Roman Reigns won the men's match, last eliminating Gunther, for his 2nd Rumble win after 2015. Liv Morgan won the women's match, last eliminating Tiffany Stratton. Gunther also beat AJ Styles in a Career Threatening match that forced Styles to retire, and Drew McIntyre retained the Undisputed WWE Championship against Sami Zayn.
The 2026 show also included the WWE debut of Royce Keys, formerly Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW, returns for Brie Bella, Tiffany Stratton and Chad Gable, and the final Royal Rumble appearance of Brock Lesnar as an in-ring performer before his retirement in August 2026. Wrestlers from AAA, which WWE acquired in 2025, also made appearances in the men's match.
Before the Royal Rumble, WWE heads into Survivor Series and its WarGames matches. The latest on that build is in WWE Raw: Jacob Fatu Returns As The Bloodline And The 946 Head To WarGames At Survivor Series.
