WWE Raw To Debut At United Center In 2027

The United Center in Chicago, Illinois will host its first ever episode of WWE television on January 11, 2027. The venue announced the news on November 5 after posting a teaser video on its official X account the previous day.

WWE has previously held the 2026 Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event and the 1994 SummerSlam pay-per-view at the United Center along with several house shows. The January 11, 2027 episode of Raw marks the first time the arena will present a weekly television show for the promotion.

WWE revealed its initial 2027 schedule through teaser videos posted by multiple North American venues on social media. The company will kick off the new year with a special New Year's Day live event on January 1 at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The first live episode of SmackDown in 2027 is set for January 8 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. Following the Chicago Raw show, WWE will embark on a European tour in late January. SmackDown will return on January 29 at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.

A Road to Royal Rumble live event is scheduled for January 30 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
