WWE Crown Jewel 2026 will take place at a new venue in Saudi Arabia, as confirmed by Riyadh Season. The change comes amid heightened tensions in the region and attacks targeting locations like King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. All ticket holders will receive full refunds, with new tickets to be made available in the next 48 hours. Despite the venue change, reports suggest the event will still occur in Riyadh, just not in the previously designated temporary stadium. The show is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7.
