WWE Brings Holiday Tour Back To Madison Square Garden

ByMike ReichlinProfessional Wrestling Journalist

WWE is taking its Holiday Live Tour back to Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Dec. 26, as part of 10 new event dates announced across the United States.

Tickets for every event go on sale Friday, Oct. 2, at 10am local time through Ticketmaster.com. An exclusive presale starts Oct. 1 on the same site.

The Garden stop comes back after a year off. WWE’s 2025 Holiday Tour schedule put Baltimore on Dec. 26 instead, and F4WOnline noted at the time that WWE was not running its usual post-Christmas show in New York.

  • Thursday, Dec. 3: BMO Center in Rockford, Ill.
  • Saturday, Dec. 26: Madison Square Garden in New York City
  • Saturday, Dec. 26: Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes Barre, Pa.
  • Sunday, Dec. 27: Oncenter War Memorial in Syracuse, N.Y.
  • Sunday, Dec. 27: Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va.
  • Monday, Dec. 28: Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Fla. (RAW/SmackDown)
  • Tuesday, Dec. 29: Little Caesars Arena in Detroit
  • Tuesday, Dec. 29: Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
  • Wednesday, Dec. 30: PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh
  • Wednesday, Dec. 30: Columbus Civic Center in Columbus, Ga.

Four nights have two shows booked: Dec. 26, 27, 29 and 30. The Tampa date is listed as RAW/SmackDown rather than a Holiday Live Tour show.

The announcement follows an August report from Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline that additional December house shows were expected, on top of the Road to Survivor Series WarGames dates and January’s European tour. WWE’s live event calendar has been growing since the company announced 10 summer tour dates in May.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the expansion is meant to give younger wrestlers more experience away from television.
