WWE has officially confirmed that Crown Jewel will return to Saudi Arabia later this year, with the date and location now revealed.

During the taped August 31 episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE announced that Crown Jewel 2026 will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, November 7.

Turki Al-Sheikh later promoted the announcement on social media, confirming the major WWE event as part of Riyadh Season.

Crown Jewel has become an annual event on WWE's calendar, although the show moved away from Saudi Arabia last year when Perth, Australia, hosted the 2025 edition.

In recent years, the Crown Jewel concept has focused heavily on WWE's top champions from Raw and SmackDown going head-to-head for the Crown Jewel Championships.

The 2025 event saw the Women's World Champion from Raw face the WWE Women's Champion from SmackDown, while the World Heavyweight Champion battled the Undisputed WWE Champion in the men's championship match.

That show also featured a major attraction during John Cena's retirement tour, as Cena went one-on-one with longtime rival AJ Styles.

WWE will now bring Crown Jewel back to Riyadh this November, continuing the company's relationship with Saudi Arabia ahead of an even bigger event planned for the country.

WrestleMania 43 is scheduled to take place in Riyadh in 2027, marking the first WrestleMania to be held outside North America.

With Crown Jewel now confirmed for November 7, attention will turn to which Raw and SmackDown champions will be holding gold when WWE arrives in Riyadh.
