Not to mention the phenomenal one, AJ Styles, is putting his career on the line against the “Ring General” Gunther, who retired John Cena in December.

What time does Royal Rumble 2026 go live?

The Royal Rumble is being held in Saudi Arabia this year, which means the PLE’s start time will differ from what fans are used to. For European and Middle Eastern audiences, the time change is much more fan-friendly. However, US audiences will be watching the event much earlier in the afternoon.

How long is Royal Rumble 2026?

The Royal Rumble is one of the biggest Premium Live Events of the year for WWE, on par with Survivor Series and SummerSlam, and arguably just as popular as WrestleMania.

Unlike WrestleMania and SummerSlam, the Royal Rumble is a one-night event. With both the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches taking over an hour each, it’s going to be a long event. With the current card, the Royal Rumble is likely to be a three- to four-hour event.
