WWE has announced a series of early 2027 European dates as part of a “Road To Royal Rumble” tour.

Belgium, Poland, Sweden, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Scotland and England will be visited by WWE in January 2027, the company revealed on Monday.

The overseas tour will begin with a taping of Friday Night Smackdown from Brussels, Belgium. The event will be WWE’s first time presenting TV in the country since March 2025, an edition of Raw where John Cena famously cut one of his first promos since turning heel in his retirement run.

After some stops in Poland and the Netherlands, WWE will travel to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland for an episode of Raw. Manchester, England will receive an episode of Smackdown days later.

House shows will take place in Sweden and Hungary before the tour wraps up at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

WWE will later return stateside for the Royal Rumble, which is expected to go down at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. An exact date for the Premium Live Event (PLE) hasn’t been announced just yet.
