The announcement confirms earlier reports that WWE was planning a May 2026 PLE in Turin. At the time, the event name had not been finalized, with Backlash reportedly being used as an internal placeholder. WWE has now settled on the Clash brand, continuing the series that has included Clash in Paris, Clash at the Castle in Glasgow and Cardiff, and the original Clash of Champions events.

The tour kicks off in Barcelona on May 29 and runs through June 22, hitting Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. Here are the confirmed dates:
May 29 — Barcelona, Spain (SmackDown)
May 31 — Turin, Italy (Clash in Italy PLE)

The Inalpi Arena, Italy's largest indoor venue with a capacity of up to 15,666, was built for the 2006 Winter Olympics and has since hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and the ATP Finals. The venue has previously hosted WWE live events but never a televised show of this magnitude.
Italy will be well-represented on the tour with four additional stops in Turin, Bologna, Rome, and Florence. The tour also features televised Raw episodes from Turin, Paris, and London, plus a SmackDown from Barcelona and another from Bologna — all airing live on Netflix internationally.
This marks the fulfillment of plans first revealed by WWE President Nick Khan at the IMG x RedBird business summit in September, when he confirmed the company was finalizing an Italian PLE to coincide with Netflix's expansion in the country. The European Summer Tour follows the Road to Royal Rumble tour that brought Raw and SmackDown to Germany, the UK, and other countries earlier this year.
