Ring of Honor’s Final Battle is advertised for Friday, December 4, 2026, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas. Pre-sale information for the event is listed through Ticketmaster, establishing the date and venue for what is expected to be ROH’s major year-end pay-per-view.
The 2026 edition will mark the 25th presentation of Final Battle, a milestone for one of Ring of Honor’s longest-running event brands. The show has traditionally served as a major closing point on the ROH calendar, providing a platform for championship matches, defining rivalries and significant moments heading into the next phase of the promotion’s schedule.
San Antonio will host this year’s event at the Boeing Center at Tech Port. While Final Battle’s location has now been advertised, no matches, wrestlers or championship bouts have been officially announced for the December 4 card as of this writing. Information regarding the on-sale process is beginning to surface through the venue’s ticketing listing.
A Landmark 25th Final Battle
Reaching a 25th presentation gives the 2026 event added historical importance for Ring of Honor. Final Battle has remained a central name in ROH’s event history through changing eras for the company, and the December show continues to carry the identity of a marquee destination for the roster.

The anniversary framing also makes the event notable beyond its eventual match lineup. Final Battle has been positioned as an annual signature show, and the 2026 date gives ROH a December destination in Texas as the promotion approaches the end of the year.
There is not yet an announced theme, featured attraction or main event for the show. That leaves considerable time for ROH’s championship picture and ongoing rivalries to develop before the company reaches San Antonio. With multiple singles and tag team titles currently represented across the roster, the potential stakes around Final Battle could become clearer over the weeks ahead.
2025 Final Battle Was Headlined by Athena
Last year’s Final Battle took place on December 5, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio. The event was headlined by Athena successfully defending the ROH Women’s World Championship against Persephone.
Athena remains one of the most dominant champions in the current Ring of Honor landscape. As of this writing, she has held the ROH Women’s World Championship for more than 1,400 days, an extraordinary length of time for a title reign at the top of any major wrestling division.
Her successful defense against Persephone at the 2025 event reinforced the importance of the women’s world title at Final Battle. Whether Athena enters the 2026 show as champion, and who may be positioned as her challenger if she does, has not been announced. Still, her reign is certain to remain a major point of discussion whenever the championship is involved.
The return of Final Battle just one day earlier on the calendar than the 2025 edition also maintains the event’s familiar early-December position. Columbus hosted the 2025 show on December 5; San Antonio is now scheduled to welcome the 2026 version on December 4.
ROH Championship Picture Heading Toward December
Ring of Honor’s current titleholders provide an early view of the names who could be central to the road to Final Battle. Bandido is listed as the ROH World Champion, holding the promotion’s top singles championship. Any Final Battle card will naturally draw attention to the status of the world title and the contender who could emerge to pursue it.
Action Andretti is the current ROH World Television Champion. The television championship has its own place within the promotion’s singles hierarchy, and Andretti’s position gives him a championship presence as ROH moves through the remainder of 2026.
Lee Moriarty holds the ROH Pure Championship. The Pure title brings a distinct competitive identity to the company, and Moriarty’s championship status places him among the core titleholders heading toward the year-end event.
ROH’s women’s division currently features three champions across separate titles. In addition to Athena’s lengthy reign as ROH Women’s World Champion, Deonna Purrazzo is listed as the ROH Women’s Pure Champion and Red Velvet is listed as the ROH Women’s World Television Champion.
That collection of titleholders provides several different championship paths that could feed into Final Battle. No title defenses have been confirmed for San Antonio, and there is no indication yet that every championship will be represented on the card. However, the presence of established champions across the women’s division ensures that there will be several championships to watch as the event gets closer.
Tag Team Champions Also Set the Stage
The current ROH World Tag Team Champions are Místico and Máscara Dorada. Their reign places two internationally recognized luchadores at the forefront of the promotion’s tag team division, giving the championship picture a distinctive look as Final Battle approaches.
In the six-man ranks, Jay Lethal, Lee Johnson and Blake Christian are listed as the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions. The trio’s position adds another championship dynamic to the roster, with three wrestlers sharing responsibility for one of the company’s team titles.
As with the singles championships, no opponents or defenses for either team title have been announced for December 4. The tag team and six-man divisions will have time to establish their respective challenger pictures before Final Battle arrives in San Antonio.
The complete list of currently listed Ring of Honor champions is:
- ROH World Champion: Bandido
- ROH World Television Champion: Action Andretti
- ROH Pure Champion: Lee Moriarty
- ROH Women’s World Champion: Athena
- ROH Women’s World Television Champion: Red Velvet
- ROH Women’s Pure Champion: Deonna Purrazzo
- ROH World Tag Team Champions: Místico and Máscara Dorada
- ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions: Jay Lethal, Lee Johnson and Blake Christian
