WWE has revealed a bold plan to welcome back fans to its biggest event of the year in just a few months’ time, with the locations and dates for the next three WrestleManias confirmed.
WrestleMania 37 will be a two-night extravaganza – for the second straight year – on Saturday April 10 and Sunday April 11 (US time) in Tampa, Florida at Raymond James Stadium.
The event was originally scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, at the new SoFi Stadium where the NFL’s Rams and Chargers play.

However after the pandemic saw WrestleMania 36 moved from Raymond James Stadium (home of the NFL’s Buccaneers) to the WWE Performance Center, the company has opted to reward Florida for its support holding events over the last year.
WWE has been running in Florida since March, with shows at the Performance Center and Amway Center (home of the NBA’s Magic) in Orlando, as well as at Tropicana Field in Tampa (home of MLB’s Rays). The events have either featured an empty arena, a small number of fans or virtual fans via video call in what WWE calls the ThunderDome.
Fans will be permitted to attend WrestleMania 37 this April, despite the ongoing pandemic. WWE did not announce how many tickets will be sold.
Raymond James Stadium welcomed an average of 14,483 fans for the Buccaneers’ eight NFL home games this season, around 22 per cent of the stadium’s capacity.
WrestleMania 38 will be a return to Dallas, Texas and AT&T Stadium – where WrestleMania 32 was held in front of a record crowd of 93,370 fans – on Sunday April 3 in 2022.
Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium will then get its WrestleMania in 2023, with WrestleMania 39 to be held on Sunday April 2.
