Monday Night Raw is coming to Dublin. WWE will broadcast the red brand live from the 3Arena on Monday, January 25, 2027, the first time the flagship show has ever emanated from the Republic of Ireland.
Becky Lynch and Finn Balor delivered the news themselves, appearing live in studio on Newstalk FM’s Off The Ball. The Dublin sports radio show had been teasing a “massive announcement” for a full day beforehand, with both stars already in the city ahead of Saturday’s Zuffa Boxing card at the same venue.
Raw has reached the island of Ireland once before, airing live from the SSE Arena in Belfast on January 19, 2026, where CM Punk retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Balor in front of a partisan crowd. Northern Ireland had been the only part of the island the show visited.
The 3Arena Already Has WWE History
Dublin’s WWE television debut came in August 2025, when SmackDown ran the 3Arena for the first televised WWE broadcast in the city. That show anchored the Road to Clash in Paris tour, and its success made a return trip look inevitable.
The January date also fits a pattern. WWE ran a European Raw swing in January 2026, hitting the PSD Bank Dome in Dusseldorf on January 12 before Belfast a week later, both airing on Netflix with an adjusted afternoon start time for American viewers. January 25, 2027 slots into that same window, which suggests Dublin anchors another European run rather than standing alone.
Lynch And Balor Get The Homecoming
The timing lands well for both announcers. Lynch returned to WWE television on the August 3 edition of Raw after roughly two months away, confronting Liv Morgan and The Judgment Day on her way back into the women’s title picture. Balor came out of SummerSlam still chasing a championship opportunity after a Fatal Four-Way on the card.
WWE’s Irish contingent has thinned recently, with Sheamus addressing his looming WWE exit in July, though Lynch, Balor, JD McDonagh and Lyra Valkyria all remain on the roster.
The show also arrives while a louder Irish campaign runs in the background. Local officials have pushed publicly for a future WrestleMania, though that bid still faces real financial and logistical hurdles. A televised Raw at a 13,000-seat arena is a far smaller ask, and a logical next step.
Ticket on-sale details have yet to be confirmed.
