WWE announces date, time, and venue for the 2026 Hall of Fame Ceremony during WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas

by

WWE has officially set the stage for one of WrestleMania week’s marquee traditions, announcing that the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony will take place on Friday, April 17, 2026, at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, Nevada. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 9:00 PM PT, planting the Hall of Fame firmly in prime time as WrestleMania 42 week kicks into full gear.

The choice of Dolby Live continues WWE’s recent trend of placing Hall of Fame in premium, modern venues that match the “destination weekend” presentation of WrestleMania. With Las Vegas again serving as the backdrop for WWE’s biggest week of the year, the company is positioning the Hall of Fame as a headline attraction rather than a side event—an atmosphere built for speeches, surprises, and the kind of celebratory pageantry that only WrestleMania season can deliver.
