WWE is heading back across the Atlantic for a major European run in January 2027, with eight events scheduled before the company returns to the United States for Royal Rumble season.
The tour will feature four televised events alongside four non-televised Supershows, taking WWE through eight different European cities between January 15 and January 25.
The announcement follows confirmation that Royal Rumble 2027 will take place in Glendale, Arizona. While WWE has confirmed the premium live event is scheduled for February, an exact date has yet to be revealed.
One of the biggest stops on the European schedule comes on January 25, when Monday Night Raw will emanate from Dublin, Ireland. The historic show, previously confirmed by Becky Lynch and Finn Balor, will mark the first episode of Raw ever held in Ireland.
WWE is currently advertising a sizeable group of top stars for the European dates, although lineups remain subject to change.
CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, Finn Balor, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Gunther, Jade Cargill, Oba Femi, Trick Williams and members of The Vision are among the names promoted for the tour.
Ripley's inclusion is particularly noteworthy following her recent knee surgery. While an advertised appearance does not guarantee when she will be cleared to compete, her presence in the promotional material could provide some encouragement that WWE expects her to be involved around the beginning of Royal Rumble season.
The four non-televised events are being promoted as "Supershows," meaning talent from both Raw and SmackDown is expected to appear.
WWE highlighted several historic firsts included in the schedule:
“The Road to Royal Rumble Tour in January 2027 will mark several significant milestones including the first-ever Raw in Dublin, the first-ever SmackDown in Belgium, WWE’s first-ever event in Gliwice, Poland, and the first-ever WWE televised event at Manchester’s Co-op Live,” WWE wrote. “The tour will also see WWE return to Amsterdam for the first time in more than two years, Sweden for the first time in more than eight years and Hungary for the first time in nearly a decade.”
Fans interested in attending the shows can register through WWE's mailing list to receive information regarding ticket pre-sales.
The European swing will effectively serve as WWE's final major stretch of programming before attention turns toward Royal Rumble 2027 in Glendale.
An exact date for the Royal Rumble remains unannounced, while WrestleMania 43 is scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in April 2027, with WWE also yet to confirm the precise dates for that event.
