The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, will continue to be the home to UFC and WWE programming for years to come.

A new agreement reached with TKO Group Holdings will bring six events to the Vegas location per year, with the deal continuing through to 2030. The agreement was announced via press release on Wednesday; financial terms were not disclosed.

The new agreement will feature four UFC events in the venue annually, plus a commitment to two WWE shows visiting per year.

Wrestlemania weekend in April saw WWE host Smackdown, Raw, and NXT’s Stand & Deliver card inside the T-Mobile Arena. While the promotion had made the location a frequent spot in the mid-to-late 2010s, the recent stretch of events was WWE’s first trip to the location since 2019.

The T-Mobile Arena will once again host Smackdown and Raw tapings as part of next year’s Wrestlemania weekend, per the press release.

The T-Mobile Arena has a much closer history with the UFC, which, apart from some exceptions, has made the venue its exclusive pay-per-view home in Las Vegas ever since it first opened in 2016.

UFC had previously reached an agreement in 2017 to present four shows per year inside the venue, an agreement that both sides boasted as a first for the industry.

They have hosted a pair of pay-per-view cards at the venue this year, with another scheduled to take place next month, headlined by Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira.
