WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada, has a brand new start time. WWE recently updated its website to list the start time as 2:30 PM local time (Pacific Time), a significant shift from the previously listed 4:00 PM local time.
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium. It is currently unknown if the 2:30 PM slot represents the start of the main card or the beginning of the Kickoff show. In recent years, WrestleMania kickoff shows have run for at least two hours, but this early start could also hint at a creative shift. Since transitioning to a two-night event, WrestleMania has consistently featured seven matches per card; an earlier start could potentially mean more matches on the premium live event. As of now, only Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk and Liv Morgan vs. Stephanie Vaquer are confirmed for the show.
