Minneapolis to host two-night WWE SummerSlam in 2026

After missing out on WrestleMania, Minneapolis was given a major consolation prize by WWE after being named the host for SummerSlam 2026.

WWE confirmed the news Wednesday morning, revealing that U.S. Bank Stadium will host the two-night extravaganza on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 1 and 2, 2026.

It will be the first pay-per-view held in the Twin Cities since Tables, Ladders and Chairs in 2019, the first time it has held one of the “Big Four” pay-per-views since SummerSlam 1999, and the first stadium WWE show in the state ever.
