We’re in a golden age of pro wrestling, and while many organizations are thriving as of late, WWE remains the best at the business when it comes to creating must-see live events for crowds. Those with a Peacock subscription have access to every Premium Live Event of the year, including the biggest wrestling event of the year, WrestleMania.

Below, we’ll get into every known WWE PLE on the docket, as well as some other big weekend events like Saturday Night’s Main Event. Take a look at what’s on the calendar for 2025 and beyond, and mark your calendar to make sure to have those weekends open for some good ole wrasslin!

Saturday Night’s Main Event - Saturday, May 24th

Jey Uso and Logan Paul are headlining the upcoming edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, in what will be the first title defense for the king of YEET. Of course, the card is usually stacked with some other entertaining matches as well, which I’m sure will be fleshed out as we get closer to the big night.

Money In The Bank - Saturday, June 7th

The WWE is bringing Money In The Bank to Los Angeles, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for the men’s division to obtain that briefcase. Whoever grabs it will get a chance to cash in against current champion and first-time heel John Cena, and prevent his crusade to “ruin” pro wrestling with his record-setting 17th championship. Of course, the women’s briefcase winner will also get a shot at Iyo Sky or Tiffany Stratton, and I’ll be interested to see who ends up with these big opportunities.

Night Of Champions - Saturday, June 28th

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is the location of Night of Champions this year. While the PLE is typically known for having a solid number of championship matches (hence the name), I think the fact that it’s taking place overseas may have it turn into more of an eclectic match card to showcase the best talent to a country that doesn’t see these superstars in person all that often.

Saturday Night’s Main Event - Saturday, July 12th

Saturday Night’s Main Event may not be a proper PLE in the WWE lineup, but the matches the company has brought to NBC are about the same caliber. We don’t know much about what’s being planned for this night at this time, but will know more the closer we get to the event.

SummerSlam - Saturday, August 2nd, Sunday, August 3rd

SummerSlam 2025 is in New Jersey for the latest two-day iteration of the PLE, and while we don’t know for sure if it’ll happen, I’m working under the assumption John Cena will still be champion. Some have speculated this will be where he’ll take on a classic rival like CM Punk, and I would absolutely love to see that happen.

Clash In Paris - Saturday, August 31st

France has won massive favor with the WWE it seems as it continually gets PLEs after nearly bringing the arena down cheering for AJ Styles and other superstars at previous events. Out of every overseas event the company does, this has been a favorite of mine for a while, so I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

Crown Jewel - Saturday, October 11th

While Crown Jewel was originally an event made for Saudi Arabia, the WWE is taking the show on the road and making it the next PLE planned for Australia. I would expect Rhea Ripley to be a part of this card since it’s her homeland, and would love to see Bronson Reed in the mix as well assuming he’s back from injury by this time. As for what else will be planned, we can only guess!

Survivor Series - Saturday, November 29th

Survivor Series is planned to be in San Diego in 2025, and one of my favorite PLEs of the year. It’s always cool to see what teams are used to make the giant matchup, though I’m not sure who will be in the mix for a massive match this year. Perhaps as the year continues, we’ll get a better idea of who is being tapped.

Royal Rumble - January 2026

For the first time ever, The Royal Rumble will take place outside of North America as the WWE starts WrestleMania season over in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It’s a big get for the nation, which had previously only hosted events created solely for its country. It also opens the door to the WWE hosting “Big Four” PLEs outside of the United States, which was previously unheard of.

WrestleMania 42 - Saturday, April 11th, Sunday April 12th

The WWE is returning to New Orleans to host yet another WrestleMania in the big city. It’s been the home to one of The Undertaker’s best moments, and I think Daniel Bryan’s iconic match is the reason people still want him to return to the WWE. In short, I have high expectations for what WrestleMania 42 will bring, so hopefully the city will deliver.

SummerSlam August 1 and 2, 2026

It’s still quite a long way away, but this SummerSlam in Minneapolis, Minnesota is on our radar for a major reason. This will be the beginning of SummerSlam becoming a two-day event for the WWE, mimicking the same schedule as WrestleMania. It’s fitting considering this is billed as one of the biggest events of the year, and I’m expecting this PLE to be the biggest SummerSlam we’ve seen yet.

Below is a list of all the WWE events held throughout 2025, as well as how to watch each show streaming.

A lot of these upcoming WWE events are a ways off, but there is still plenty of wrestling on the 2025 TV schedule to hold you over in the meantime. Check out some matches from some of your favorite superstars and stick with CinemaBlend for updates about them.

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
