WWE Announces First-Ever Premium Live Event In Italy For May 2026
WrestleVotes and Fightful Select have reported that WWE has officially announced it will hold a Premium Live Event (PLE) in Italy in May 2026. This marks a historic milestone for the company, as it will be the first major televised event of this magnitude held in the country.
The announcement continues WWE’s aggressive strategy of expanding its footprint in international markets. The decision to bring a PLE to Italy follows a string of successful international events over the last few years. WWE has seen record-breaking crowds and gate revenues from events such as Clash at the Castle in the United Kingdom, Backlash in France, and Bash in Berlin in Germany.
### International Strategy
Under the TKO Group Holdings banner, WWE has prioritized securing site fees and government subsidies for its major events. This business model has led to PLEs being hosted in diverse locations ranging from Puerto Rico to Australia.
Italy now joins the growing list of nations securing a flagship event, tapping into a fanbase that has traditionally only been served by non-televised “house shows” during European tours. While specific details regarding the venue and exact date have not yet been released, the May 2026 timeframe places the event in the post-WrestleMania season.
### Market Impact
Italian fans have long clamored for a significant WWE presence. The atmosphere at European shows is often noted for being louder and more energetic than typical domestic crowds, a factor that WWE executives and talent frequently praise. Bringing a PLE to Italy provides an opportunity to showcase that energy to a global audience.
Further information regarding ticket sales, the specific city, and the event name is expected to be released in the coming months as planning for the 2026 calendar progresses.
