WWE announced its first Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2026 will take place on January 24 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

The company will run two consecutive nights at the venue, with a live broadcast of WWE SmackDown scheduled for Friday, January 23.

This marks WWE’s first return to Montreal since hosting WWE SmackDown on August 8, 2024, and WWE Raw on April 15, 2024. The last premium live event held at the Bell Centre was Elimination Chamber on February 18, 2023.

The Montreal events are scheduled for the weekend prior to the 2026 Royal Rumble. The Rumble will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the first time the event has been held outside of North America.
