Lucas Oil Stadium will host the WWE Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, along with hosting SummerSlam and WrestleMania in future years as part of a new partnership.

WWE and Indiana Sports Corp will also work with community partners across the state to create a legacy program. Raw, SmackDown, NXT and WWE Live Events will emanate from arenas across Indiana including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Evansville throughout the partnership. Lucas Oil Stadium completed on Sunday its stretch as host for the U.S. Olympic Trials in swimming, the first time a NFL stadium has hosted the event.

“We are excited to bring this groundbreaking partnership to Indianapolis and our state,” said Patrick Talty, president of Indiana Sports Corp. “For over four decades, our city’s sports strategy has brought in millions of visitors and priceless hours of international brand-building media coverage. This partnership with WWE continues to push that strategy forward in new and exciting ways. We look forward to welcoming the WWE Universe to our community and state and showing them all that Indy has to offer.”

The announcement is the latest of major events revealed by WWE, including SummerSlam in 2026 headed to Minneapolis and WrestleMania 41 in 2025 heading to Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.

“Indianapolis is a fantastic city for major events and we’re excited to invite the WWE Universe to Lucas Oil Stadium for Royal Rumble in 2025, and a future SummerSlam and WrestleMania,” said Chris Legentil, WWE executive vice president for talent relations and head of communications. “Patrick and the team at Indiana Sports Corp have done a phenomenal job bolstering local economics and tourism and we’re proud to partner with them to shine a light on the great state of Indiana.”

WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble have a combined estimated economic impact of more than $300 million. Since its inception in 1979, Indiana Sports Corp has hosted more than 500 national and international sporting events, including Super Bowl XLVI, the College Football Playoff National Championship, Men’s & Women’s NCAA Final Fours and 11 Big Ten Football Championship Games.
