The Rock, appearing live on Smackdown last night in New
Orleans, announced that WrestleMania 42 will be coming from
the Caesars Superdome in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana on
April 11 and 12, 2026.
The news was heavily expected and was rumored for the past
several weeks within the wrestling industry.
The Rock’s announcement was welcomed by cheers from fans
inside the Smoothie King Center and loud chants of “Holy
shit.”
The Superdome has already hosted WrestleMania twice – once
in 2014 for WrestleMania XXX and four years later in 2018
for WrestleMania 34. With WrestleMania 42, the Superdome
becomes only the second location ever along with Madison
Square Garden to host WrestleMania on three different
occasions.
The Caesars Superdome hosted this year’s Super Bowl.
