Chicago, Illinois will soon be hosting a major wrestling event that fans haven't seen in over three decades - World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) Elimination Chamber premium live event is set to take place at the United Center on February 28th, 2026.
According to WWE officials, the company has chosen Chicago as one of its key markets due to its reputation for being a "phenomenally passionate" fanbase. WWE Superstars have long included the city in their touring schedules, and this event promises to be no exception.
The United Center, which first opened in 1994, will host the Elimination Chamber live event, marking the venue's return to hosting major wrestling events after its last appearance over three decades ago. The SummerSlam event of 1994 was one of the earliest held at the United Center, and now it will see WWE come back to town for a high-stakes showdown.
Tickets for the Elimination Chamber event are scheduled to go on sale in late November, with fans eagerly anticipating the opportunity to experience this premium live event. A partnership between WWE and Choose Chicago has been formed to bring the event to life, further solidifying Chicago's position as a top destination for sports and entertainment.
