World Wrestling Entertainment is bringing one of its flagship international events to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as WWE Crown Jewel 2026 takes place on Saturday, Nov. 7. Hosted live from the ANB Arena starting at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT, the high-profile premium live event follows an eventful Money in the Bank spectacle where Roman Reigns successfully defeated LA Knight to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Fans following global entertainment spectacles and sports entertainment can look forward to a four-match lineup featuring major title defenses and high-stakes rivalries.
The official match card for Crown Jewel 2026 features three championship encounters alongside a bitter feud. Roman Reigns returns to action against Sami Zayn for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship, while Liv Morgan defends her crown against Chelsea Green in the WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship match. Elsewhere on the schedule, current titleholders The Vision face off against Penta and Je'Von Evans with the World Tag Team Championship on the line. Rounding out the four-bout event, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will collide in a brutal Last Man Standing match.
