WWE has announced 11 additional North American event dates for the opening weeks of 2027, expanding its early-year calendar with a mix of Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown and live event stops.
The schedule, announced Thursday, November 5, includes nine television tapings spread across January and February. The remaining two dates are branded as the WWE Holiday Tour and Road to Royal Rumble, respectively. The announced cities cover a wide geographic range, taking WWE from Minnesota and Texas to Illinois, Oregon, British Columbia, Washington, California, Georgia and Indiana.
Tickets for all 11 newly announced events are scheduled to go on sale Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. local time. An exclusive presale for individual-event tickets is set to begin Tuesday, November 10.

Raw begins the new year in San Antonio
The first televised stop in the group arrives on Monday, January 4, when Monday Night Raw heads to San Antonio's Frost Bank Center. That show will follow the January 1 Holiday Tour event in St. Paul, providing WWE with an immediate transition from a New Year's Day live event into its regular weekly programming schedule.

Raw then moves to the United Center in Chicago on January 11. Chicago has been included as one of WWE's early major television markets, while the United Center will host the second Raw date in the newly unveiled run.
After that January 11 event, the announced schedule resumes at the end of the month with a three-date sequence across the Pacific Northwest and western Canada. SmackDown is set for Portland's Moda Center on Friday, January 29, followed by the Road to Royal Rumble event at Vancouver's Rogers Arena on Saturday, January 30. Raw is then scheduled for Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena on Monday, February 1.
The Portland, Vancouver and Seattle dates form the tightest geographic run on the announcement. WWE has labeled only the Vancouver date as Road to Royal Rumble, while the Portland and Seattle events are scheduled as weekly television productions.
SmackDown dates include Memphis, Portland and Dallas
WWE announced three new Friday Night SmackDown dates in total. Memphis will host the first of them at FedEx Forum on January 8, four days after Raw's San Antonio visit. Portland follows on January 29, before Dallas receives the final SmackDown date in the announcement on February 12 at American Airlines Center.
The spacing of those dates means the newly revealed SmackDown calendar is concentrated around key points in the opening two months of the year rather than presenting every weekly location for the period. WWE's announcement identifies the dates and venues for these editions but does not list matches, featured talent or storylines for any of the shows.
Memphis, Portland and Dallas are three distinctly different stops on the schedule, with the company moving from Tennessee to Oregon and then Texas. The Dallas event is positioned between Raw dates in Anaheim and Atlanta, continuing WWE's regular weekly television cycle in February.
February features four Raw tapings
Raw accounts for the largest share of the February additions. WWE has scheduled the red brand for four dates during the month: Seattle on February 1, Anaheim on February 8, Atlanta on February 15 and Indianapolis on February 22.
The February 1 show at Climate Pledge Arena is especially notable within the itinerary because it directly follows the January 30 Road to Royal Rumble event in Vancouver. Raw will then travel to Southern California for the February 8 taping at Honda Center in Anaheim.
From there, WWE has Raw booked at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on February 15. The final event in the newly announced group is Raw at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on February 22.
Those four Monday dates give Raw a consistent run through the listed portion of February. They also account for four of the six Raw events included in the full 11-date announcement, with San Antonio and Chicago making up the other two.
Two live events accompany the television schedule
While the bulk of WWE's announcement centers on its weekly television brands, two dates are designated as live events rather than Raw or SmackDown tapings. The first comes on New Year's Day, with the WWE Holiday Tour visiting Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The second is the Road to Royal Rumble event at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on January 30. WWE's use of the Road to Royal Rumble branding places that event within the company's Royal Rumble-season live event schedule, though no card or participating talent was included with the date announcement.
Both events are scheduled on weekends or holidays around the televised dates. St. Paul opens the listed schedule on Friday, January 1, while Vancouver is set for Saturday, January 30, between SmackDown in Portland and Raw in Seattle.
Ticket sale details
Fans seeking tickets for the newly announced events will have an opportunity to access the presale on Tuesday, November 10. General ticket sales are then scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, beginning at 10 a.m. in each market's local time zone.
The announcement applies those sale details across all 11 events, including the nine Raw and SmackDown tapings as well as the Holiday Tour and Road to Royal Rumble dates. WWE did not provide separate on-sale times by venue beyond the 10 a.m. local start for the general sale.
The dates provide an early outline of WWE's touring and television footprint for 2027. With shows announced in major arenas across the United States and one Canadian stop in Vancouver, the company has established a substantial group of Raw and SmackDown destinations for January and February while also adding two live event dates around the Royal Rumble period.
Additional information about cards, talent lineups and other event-specific details has not been announced as part of this schedule release. For now, WWE's confirmed early-2027 additions consist of six Raw tapings, three SmackDown tapings, the January 1 Holiday Tour stop in St. Paul and the January 30 Road to Royal Rumble event in Vancouver.
