Highlights

WWE's Royal Rumble is returning to Arizona in 2027 as part of a multi-year partnership between TKO Group Holdings, Arizona Sports and Events Alliance, and Legends Global, the company announced Aug. 4, according to Phoenix New Times.

The 2027 event will be held in Glendale at Desert Diamond Arena and State Farm Stadium, per the WWE announcement. The same partnership also brings Noche UFC and the PBR World Finals: Championship to the Valley under the same multi-year agreement.

2027 will mark the third time Arizona has hosted the Royal Rumble. The 2013 event was held in the state, and the 2019 edition drew nearly 50,000 fans to Chase Field in Phoenix, according to Phoenix New Times. Wrestling Inc. noted the 2027 event will be the first time since 2022 that the Royal Rumble returns to the United States.

The Scottsdale and Paradise Valley hospitality corridor, Old Town, the resort strip along Scottsdale Road, typically sees measurable room-rate and F&B lift during major arena events at State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena, both roughly 20 miles west. Hotel and restaurant operators who track group-travel demand should flag the February 2027 window.

Ticket and scheduling details are expected through WWE's official channels. The WWE announcement did not specify an exact date beyond 2027.
