WWE will return to Chicago’s United Center for Elimination Chamber on Saturday, February 28, 2026, marking the company’s first Premium Live Event at the iconic venue in more than three decades.
The announcement, made in partnership with Choose Chicago, brings WWE back to the arena where SummerSlam made history in August 1994 as the first sports event to open the United Center. Chicago has hosted numerous marquee WWE events including WrestleMania, Survivor Series, Money In The Bank, and Backlash.
