Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque announced on Friday evening that WWE Money in the Bank will take place in New Orleans on Saturday, August 29th, 2026.
It is the latest in the calendar year that Money in the Bank has ever been staged. The event has previously never been held post-July.
He also confirmed that the city would host “a WrestleMania”, with the details to be announced “at a later date.”
Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston broke the news that New Orleans was losing WrestleMania in 2026, with confirmation provided by the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation.
Levesque did not confirm widespread reports that WrestleMania 42 will instead be hosted in Las Vegas.
Levesque stated in a video posted to social media:
I’m sure everyone saw our joint statement yesterday regarding the shift in some of the dates on the WWE calendar. Today, I want to announce to you the first of those, one of which we’re very excited about.
Coming to New Orleans on Saturday, August 29th, 2026 will be Money in the Bank. Money in the Bank is one of our biggest events of the year with high stakes, amazing drama, and the chance of a lifetime for two WWE superstars to walk away with the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase.
We can’t wait and we look forward to seeing you there. Stay tuned for more details on a WrestleMania coming to New Orleans, which will be announced at a later date.
I want to say a big thank you to our great local partners from both the state and the city, as well as the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, New Orleans & Company and the city’s first-class convention center for their continued support as our major live event calendar in New Orleans continues to expand and evolve.
