Where will WWE WrestleMania 40 take place?
WWE WrestleMania 40 will take place at Lincoln Financial Field, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Home to the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles and the NCAA's Temple Owls, it opened in August 2003 and was renovated a decade ago to its current capacity of 67,594.
In addition to hosting football matches, the ground has also played host to soccer, including MLS outfit Philadelphia Union, and will host fixtures at the FIFA United 2026 World Cup. It is also a regular concert stop for tours, with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Billy Joel, and Beyonce all playing in 2023.
How many WWE WrestleMania events have taken place?
There have been 39 prior editions of WWE WrestleMania, with the 2024 iteration marking a milestone with its 40th incarnation. Since it first premiered in 1985, it has been held yearly, forming the flagship event of WWE's premium roster.
Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, when several scheduled events were forced to halt, the promotion held WrestleMania 36 behind closed doors, effectively cementing its expansion to a two-day event.
Has WWE WrestleMania been to Philadelphia before?
WWE WrestleMania has been to Philadelphia before, with WWE WrestleMania 40 marking the second time the city has hosted the flagship event and the first time since WrestleMania XV at First Union Center in 1999.
Then, the card was headlined by a No Disqualification match for the WWF Championship between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock, with the former taking the latter's title. It will mark a fitting return to see one of them return a quarter-century later.
When will the next WWE pay-per-view event take place?
The next WWE pay-per-view event is Backlash France, which will take place at LDLC Arena in Lyon, France, on Saturday, May 4.
The show will mark the promotion's pay-per-view debut in the country and comes as WWE continues to expand its international roster of supercards, following up on WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth in Australia earlier this year.
When will WrestleMania 40 take place?
Currently, there is no confirmed date or venue for the next iteration of the event, which is expected to be named WWE WrestleMania XLI. A confirmation is likely to be made at WrestleMania 40 itself.
It seems safe to assume another mid-spring weekend will be hosted after the event expands to a two-day event. Early speculation has pointed to Minneapolis' US Bank Stadium—home of the Minnesota Vikings—as a potential frontrunner for the gig.
