CM Punk will have home-field advantage at next year’s WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event (PLE).
Elimination Chamber is heading to the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on February 28, 2026, the promotion announced Thursday.
Next year’s Elimination Chamber is the first time WWE has visited the United Center since 2018, when they presented a house show at the arena. The last time they actually taped an event inside the venue goes back to Summerslam 1994.
The state of Illinois last hosted a PLE back in late 2023, when Punk returned at Survivor Series: WarGames in Rosemont. A little over two years later, they’re back with a show as part of the road to Wrestlemania.
The event is in partnership with Choose Chicago, the city’s official marketing organization, per a press release issued by WWE this week.
A pre-sale for tickets is scheduled for November 19, with a general sale going live one day later.
WWE now has the time and place for six PLEs confirmed for 2026. Here’s what we know about next year’s schedule thus far:
1/31/26: Royal Rumble, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
2/28/26: Elimination Chamber, United Center, Chicago, Illinois
4/18-19/26: Wrestlemania 42, Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada
8/1-2/26: Summerslam, U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota
