WWE has officially added a brand-new destination to its Premium Live Event map.
WWE confirmed Clash in Italy will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, from Inalpi Arena in Turin—marking the first WWE Premium Live Event ever held in Italy. (corporate.wwe.com)
This also validates what was previously reported: WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reported an Italy PLE was in the works, and Nick Khan later publicly stated Italy would host a Premium Live Event in 2026. (fightful.com)
What WWE announced
The key points WWE put in writing are straightforward and significant:
- Clash in Italy is set for May 31, 2026. (corporate.wwe.com)
- It will be held at Inalpi Arena in Turin. (corporate.wwe.com)
- It’s being promoted as WWE’s first-ever PLE in Italy. (corporate.wwe.com)
That last point is the headline within the headline. WWE isn’t marketing this as a routine stop—it’s a first-time moment, and those “firsts” have become a major part of how the company sells these destination weekends.
The reporting trail that led here
If you’ve been following the breadcrumbs, the timeline has been consistent:
- Nick Khan, WWE President, publicly said Italy would host a WWE Premium Live Event in 2026—an early indicator this was on the company calendar. (postwrestling.com)
- WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select then pushed the reporting further into specificity, pointing toward the May 2026 window that WWE has now officially locked in. (fightful.com)
- With today’s announcement, WWE completed the picture with the finalized branding, venue, and the larger tour framework around it. (corporate.wwe.com)
The European tour dates WWE attached to the announcement
Clash in Italy isn’t being treated like a single-night drop. WWE positioned it inside a broader European run that includes major televised stops and live events—meaning the PLE functions as the centerpiece of a larger stretch. (corporate.wwe.com)
WWE European Summer Tour dates listed with the announcement: (corporate.wwe.com)
- Fri, May 29 — Barcelona: SmackDown (Olimpic Arena Badalona)
- Sun, May 31 — Turin: Premium Live Event (Inalpi Arena)
- Mon, June 1 — Turin: Raw (Inalpi Arena)
- Tue, June 2 — Strasbourg: Live event (Zénith de Strasbourg)
- Wed, June 3 — Lisbon: Live event (MEO Arena)
- Thu, June 4 — Madrid: Live event (Palacio Vistalegre)

- Sun, June 7 — Florence: Live event (Nelson Mandela Forum)
- Mon, June 8 — Paris: Raw (Accor Arena)
- Mon, June 22 — London: Raw (The O2 Arena)
That schedule is the tell. WWE didn’t just announce a Sunday PLE—they framed an entire run around it, with Turin getting the rare PLE/Raw combo that instantly makes the city feel like the hub of the tour. (corporate.wwe.com)
Ticket information
WWE also put the ticket rollout on the board immediately:
- Presale begins: Wednesday, March 11, 2026 (corporate.wwe.com)
- General on-sale: Friday, March 13, 2026 (corporate.wwe.com)
It’s a clean, aggressive timeline—one that signals WWE expects this to be a true destination event, not something fans decide on at the last minute.
The LNC takeaway
Clash in Italy is WWE doing what it has leaned into more and more: taking a major event concept, placing it in a new country, and making the “first-time” angle part of the hook.
The important part is that the announcement doesn’t exist in a vacuum—Khan publicly signaled the direction, the reporting narrowed the window, and now WWE has pinned the details to the calendar.
