The next international Premium Live Event will be Wrestlepalooza 2026, which will take place in Perth, Australia, in December (WWE).
The event will be held on December 12, 2026, at RAC Arena in Perth. The announcement gives Australian WWE fans another big event to look forward to after the company held previous high-profile shows in the country.
Wrestlepalooza made its WWE debut in 2025, but the upcoming edition will see a major change in its location. The event will move outside the United States for the first time and become part of a wider WWE weekend in Perth.
Wrestlepalooza Heads To Australia
The next Wrestlepalooza will be held on Saturday, December 12, at RAC Arena (Perth, Western Australia).
The announcement makes Perth the host city for a full WWE weekend, not just a single Premium Live Event. WWE also confirmed plans for other shows around Wrestlepalooza, so fans have the opportunity to see the company’s programming in the city.
The partnership with WWE and the Western Australian Government is part of a new three-year agreement. Perth will host WWE Weekend Takeovers through 2028.
This means December will be more than one night of wrestling, and WWE programming and fan activities will be planned around the main show.
WWE is going to have a full weekend in Perth.
There are lots of big events coming to Perth during the weekend from WWE.
SmackDown is scheduled for December 11, one day before Wrestlepalooza. The Premium Live Event will then take place on December 12, and Monday Night Raw on December 14.
The three-show schedule allows fans to go to WWE programming over several days.
WWE has already used international events to create a bigger weekend experience around its major shows. The Perth schedule follows that pattern as the city becomes a temporary hub for WWE activity in December.
Perth gets another major WWE event.
It’s also notable because WWE has already staged big events in Perth.
The city hosted Elimination Chamber in 2024 and Crown Jewel in 2025, helping cement Australia as a main site for WWE’s international expansion. Reports also noted that those events generated huge economic activity in the local area.
Wrestlepalooza will be another big WWE event to Perth’s growing wrestling calendar.
The 2026 show will also mark Wrestlepalooza's first event outside the USA. The event debuted in Indianapolis in 2025 before WWE moved to Australia for the second time.
Tickets And WWE Fan Experience
Tickets for the Perth WWE weekend will go on sale on September 10 at 10 AM AWST, the announcement said.
Fans attending the event can also expect WWE-related activities around the main show as part of the larger weekend takeover.
WWE’s new move comes as one of its international events continues to grow. It has already held major events around the world in 2026 (e.g., Clash in Italy in May in Turin). WWE’s official event schedule also lists shows in the US and Mexico later in the year.
International Premium Live Events have become an integral part of WWE’s event calendar, allowing the promotion to take major shows to larger audiences outside the U.S.
What To Expect From Wrestlepalooza 2026
WWE hasn't released the complete match card for Wrestlepalooza 2026. The rivalries and championship matches to be featured at the event will be planned of the event on WWE’s weekly schedule in the months before December.
As the event is several months away, details of individual matches, championship fights, and superstars are yet to be announced.
The main details are now in place: Wrestlepalooza will take place on December 12 at RAC Arena in Perth, SmackDown on December 11, and Raw on December 14.
The move marks a new chapter for Wrestlepalooza and adds another international date to WWE's 2026 calendar. For Australian fans, it also means another opportunity to see WWE’s biggest stars perform on home soil.
