WrestleMania 41 to be held in Las Vegas on April 19-20 2025


WrestleMania 41 will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20, 2025, the WWE announced on Saturday.

“Las Vegas is the sports and Entertainment Capital of the World. Allegiant Stadium has proven to be even greater than the A+ venue Las Vegas guaranteed it would be,” WWE President Nick Khan said in a statement. “We look forward to bringing WWE’s biggest event, WrestleMania, to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium so we can collectively make WrestleMania 41 on April 19 & 20, 2025, the most successful WWE event of all time.”

WrestleMania 40 took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia this past April and had a combined attendance of 145,298 for the two-night event, a format the WWE established during the pandemic beginning at WrestleMania 36 in 2020. WrestleMania 40 became the most successful and highest-grossing event in company history and the WWE will aim to break that record next year in Las Vegas.

In addition to the two-night stadium event, WWE will bring Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, the WWE World fan event and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to Las Vegas.

The WWE will also have the weekend to themselves as they won’t be in direct conflict with the 2025 edition of the NCAA Final Four. The 2025 NCAA Final Four will take place on April 5 & 7 in San Antonio with WrestleMania occurring two weeks later and the NFL draft taking place in Green Bay, Wisconsin the following weekend on April 24-26.

WrestleMania’s last visit to Las Vegas was for WrestleMania IX on April 4, 1993, and was held at Caesar’s Palace. It was the first WrestleMania event to be held outdoors.
