WWE could announce the WrestleMania 43 dates during its Crown Jewel broadcast in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 7. A new update from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select says people within the company expect it to happen this weekend, with April 10 and 11, 2027, being the dates under consideration. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East could still mess with the timing though. WWE hasn't officially confirmed the April dates, but the plan right now is to reveal them at Crown Jewel.

WWE reportedly preparing to confirm April 10 and 11, 2027, as WrestleMania 43 dates

This isn't coming out of nowhere, since there have been weeks of talk about the schedule for WWE's biggest event in 2027. Brandon Thurston and John Pollock had earlier reported that April 10 and April 11 were the dates being discussed internally for WrestleMania 43.

That report pointed to a possible weekend for the Riyadh show, but WWE stayed quiet in public. Now the WrestleVotes Radio update suggests the announcement is a lot closer.

Per the report, WWE sources believe the dates will get revealed during Crown Jewel and not through a separate announcement. The schedule would put WrestleMania 43 on Saturday and Sunday, April 10-11, 2027, so it would be a two-night show.

WWE officially named Riyadh as the host city on September 12, 2025, through its partnership with Riyadh Season and Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority. It will also be first WrestleMania held outside North America.

Ongoing conflict in the Middle East could still delay WWE's WrestleMania 43 announcement

There is one problem that could change WWE's plans. The conflict in the region has created some uncertainty around timing, and sources have reportedly warned that the company could hold off on revealing the dates.

Still, the expectation inside WWE is that the announcement will happen during Crown Jewel. According to the report, the company wants the dates out while it's in Riyadh, even with the regional situation remaining a concern.

TKO President Mark Shapiro also spoke about WrestleMania 43 possibly moving away from Saudi Arabia on the company's third-quarter earnings call. He described the risk of relocating the event as "minimal," which suggests WWE's Riyadh plans are staying in place.

Crown Jewel is on November 7 in Riyadh, and that's where the 2027 WrestleMania weekend could get its official spot on the calendar.
