WWE SummerSlam Headed to Minneapolis in 2026

WWE SummerSlam will be held at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis from August 1–2, 2026, the first non-WrestleMania WWE event that will be held over the course of two days.

The 2026 SummerSlam will mark the first time WWE will host a stadium event in the city. WWE and Minnesota Sports and Events will deliver a host of fan and community events in the days leading up to and after SummerSlam.

“We are thrilled to welcome the WWE Universe to Minnesota for SummerSlam,” said Wendy Blackshaw, president and chief executive officer of Minnesota Sports and Events. “We will make this summertime wrestling extravaganza accessible for fans of all ages. Through a variety of festivities and ancillary events in the Twin Cities and affordable tickets to the main events at U.S. Bank Stadium, this will be a SummerSlam for all.”

U.S. Bank Stadium, the home of the Minnesota Vikings, has hosted several high-profile events such as Super Bowl LII in 2018 and the 2019 NCAA Men’s Final Four. Minnesota was in the race to host WrestleMania 41 in 2025, before WWE pivoted to Las Vegas for next year’s event.

“U.S. Bank Stadium is honored to host WWE’s SummerSlam on Minnesota’s biggest stage in 2026,” said Michael Vekich, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority. “We look forward to providing a warm welcome and best-in-class experience at U.S. Bank Stadium for WWE Superstars, staff, fans and guests.”

This year’s SummerSlam will take place at Cleveland Browns Stadium on August 3. In 2023, SummerSlam at Ford Field in Detroit set a gate record for any non-WrestleMania event with $8.5 million, which has since been surpassed by the 2024 Royal Rumble in January.

“U.S. Bank Stadium is an absolutely world-class venue, situated in a city with rich wrestling history and an amazing fan base,” said Chris Legentil, WWE executive vice president of talent relations and head of communications. “We’re excited to bring two nights of SummerSlam to Minneapolis in 2026.”
