WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: When & where, full match card, and more

The road to WrestleMania 42 takes a brutal turn inside one of WWE’s most unforgiving structures as Elimination Chamber 2026 heads to Chicago on Saturday, Feb. 28.

With championship opportunities hanging in the balance, this year’s Premium Live Event promises high-stakes drama, career-defining performances, and the kind of chaos only the steel Chamber can deliver.

Set against the electric backdrop of the United Center, the event will determine which Superstars punch their tickets to WrestleMania on the grandest stage of them all.

When and where is WWE Elimination Chamber 2026?

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 takes place on Saturday, Feb. 28, at the United Center in Chicago.

The action begins at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET, with fans worldwide tuning in to see who survives the Chamber and earns a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 42.

Men’s Elimination Chamber Match

So far, the following Superstars have qualified for the high-risk Chamber bouts:

What’s at stake on the road to WrestleMania?

Elimination Chamber has long been a pivotal stop on WWE’s calendar. Last year saw Bianca Belair and John Cena emerge victorious, with Cena’s shocking post-match actions setting the tone for WrestleMania season.

This year, both the men’s and women’s Chamber matches once again offer a direct path to championship glory at WrestleMania 42. Only those who can endure the steel structure and outlast five other competitors will secure their opportunity.
