WWE announces 2027 Royal Rumble to be held in Arizona

WWE has announced that the 40th edition of the Royal Rumble will take place in February 2027 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. While a specific date has not been set, the event is part of a three-year partnership between TKO, the Arizona Sports and Events Alliance, and Legends Global. Under this deal, Arizona will host seven events featuring WWE, UFC, and Professional Bull Riding.

There is conflicting information regarding the event's format. One report suggests WWE is seriously considering expanding the Royal Rumble into a two-night event, mirroring the structure of WrestleMania and SummerSlam, to maximize revenue. However, other reports indicate that the 2027 Royal Rumble will not be a two-night event, despite internal discussions about the possibility.
