Though most of the focus is on WrestleMania week right now, WWE is already looking ahead to its biggest event of the summer.
The company has announced that two-day combo tickets for SummerSlam 2026 will go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 1 at 10 a.m. Central time. U.S Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is hosting the event on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2 — making this the second two-night SummerSlam in WWE history.
Before the general on-sale, there will be a ticket pre-sale on April 30. Chase Freedom cardholders will get access to an exclusive pre-sale one day prior to that on April 29.
WWE has not yet announced when single-night tickets are going on sale.
Tourism organization Minnesota Sports and Events is partnering with WWE for SummerSlam, with the organization calling this a “major moment” for the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota.
“SummerSlam coming to U.S. Bank Stadium marks a major moment for Minneapolis and for our state as a whole,” said MNSE president and CEO Wendy Blackshaw. “This is a truly global event, and we’re excited to welcome fans from across the country and around the world while showcasing Minnesota as a premier destination for world-class sports and entertainment. We encourage fans to secure their tickets early for what will be an incredible weekend.”
Rumors have circulated for months regarding Brock Lesnar — who once called Minnesota home — potentially retiring at SummerSlam 2026. There’s been no confirmation of that, and Lesnar has not revealed his retirement timeline aside from saying he’s only back in WWE “for a short time.” The opening match of WrestleMania 42 night two this Sunday will see Lesnar face off against new WWE star Oba Femi.
