Get ready to rumble, Minneapolis! SummerSlam is set for a two-night extravaganza in the city.
WWE has chosen Minneapolis as the exciting location to host SummerSlam in 2026. This much-anticipated event will occur on Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd, at the U.S. Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings’ illustrious home. This marks the first time since 2019 that Minneapolis will witness a WWE Premium Live Event, and it’s also the city’s inaugural stadium event of this magnitude. While Cleveland is set to host SummerSlam in 2024, the 2025 location remains a mystery.
In addition to the main events, a series of fan-centric and community gatherings will unfold in the lead-up to, and after, SummerSlam.
Reflecting on the upcoming occasion, WWE’s EVP of Talent Relations and Head of Communications, Chris Legentil, shared his enthusiasm in the official announcement.
“U.S. Bank Stadium is an absolutely world-class venue, and it’s located in a city with a deep wrestling tradition and a dedicated fan base,” conveyed Chris Legentil. “We are keen about presenting two evenings of SummerSlam to Minneapolis in 2026.”
Chief Executive of Minnesota Sports and Events, Wendy Blackshaw, also expressed her excitement.
“We are ecstatic to bring the WWE Universe to Minnesota for SummerSlam,” announced Wendy Blackshaw. “We aim to make this summer wrestling spectacle a hit for audiences of all ages. Between a collection of events and activities throughout the Twin Cities and providing reasonably priced tickets to the staple events at U.S. Bank Stadium, we are preparing a SummerSlam that is accessible to everyone.”
