WWE 2027 Royal Rumble and European tour updates

Overview

WWE has confirmed several details regarding its 2027 programming, centered around the 40th edition of the Royal Rumble at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The event is part of a three-year partnership between TKO, the Arizona Sports and Events Alliance, and Legends Global.

As a lead-up to the Rumble, WWE announced its ‘Road To Royal Rumble’ European tour, scheduled from January 15 to January 25, 2027. The tour will visit eight locations across seven countries, including Brussels, Gliwice, Amsterdam, Glasgow, Manchester, Stockholm, Budapest, and Dublin. The itinerary features four televised tapings for RAW and SmackDown alongside four non-televised Supershows. Notable milestones include the first-ever RAW broadcast in Dublin and the first SmackDown in Belgium.

Discussions continue regarding the format of the Royal Rumble. While WWE has explored expanding the event into a two-night affair—a move supported by WWE Hall of Famer JBL to allow for more marquee matches—current expectations suggest it may remain a single-night show in 2027.

Speculation regarding the specific date has emerged following AEW’s announcement of its Dynasty event. While WWE has not officially confirmed the date, reports from ‘Wrestling Observer Radio’ indicate the Royal Rumble may be scheduled for February 6, 2027. This would place the event just one day before AEW’s Dynasty, which is set for February 7 in Liverpool, England.
