WWE Crown Jewel 2026 moves indoors to The Venue in Riyadh, reports say

Crown Jewel is still on for Saturday, November 7, in Riyadh, but in a different building. PWInsider reported on Friday that the show has moved to The ANB Arena, also known as The Venue. It had been planned for Riyadh Season Stadium, an outdoor site.

What the reports say

• New building: The Venue holds roughly 6,000 to 8,000 people depending on the production setup, according to PWInsider. The same arena hosts the Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli boxing fight this weekend.
• Tickets: Earlier purchases were refunded and sales were paused, then reopened for the new venue, F4W reported.
• Why it moved: F4W said one reason believed to be behind the switch is that an indoor arena offers added security amid regional security concerns.
• Who announced it: eWrestlingNews reported that Riyadh Season announced the change and that the official ticketing page now lists the arena.

When RingZine checked on Saturday, WWE's Crown Jewel event page still showed its original stadium announcement. RingZine has not seen a separate WWE statement on the move, so we are treating the venue as reported rather than confirmed by WWE.

What has not changed

The date and broadcast are the same. Crown Jewel streams at noon ET and 9 a.m. PT on the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited plan in the United States and on Netflix internationally, WWE says. The four announced matches remain in place, and our Crown Jewel match card lists them, including Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match. F4W noted that a fifth match could still be added.

This story will be updated if WWE confirms the venue itself.
