The much-anticipated WWE SummerSlam event is set to kick off tomorrow, taking place over two nights at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on August 1 and 2. This year marks the 39th annual edition of the summer wrestling extravaganza, promising an action-packed card that fans won’t want to miss.
Headlining the first night are two major matches: CM Punk will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, while Oba Femi faces Brock Lesnar for the third time in a Hell in a Cell match. Notably, Lesnar has never lost inside the confines of a Hell in a Cell, making this matchup particularly intriguing for fans.
On the second night, fans can look forward to Penta defending his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable, as well as Roman Reigns putting his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Seth Rollins. In a significant turn of events, WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley will be unable to compete due to a meniscus tear, leading to a battle for the interim title among Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair, Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton, and a fifth competitor yet to be announced.
As the excitement builds, here’s everything you need to know about how to watch WWE SummerSlam 2026, both in the US and internationally.
