What is on the WWE Crown Jewel 2026 match card?
WWE.com lists four matches for Crown Jewel 2026. That was the full card when we checked at 12:55 UTC on Nov. 7:
- Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn: a Champion vs. Champion match between World Heavyweight Champion Reigns and Undisputed WWE Champion Zayn. ESPN’s release says the prize is the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship.
- Chelsea Green vs. Liv Morgan: a Champion vs. Champion match between WWE Women’s Champion Green and Women’s World Champion Morgan. ESPN’s release says the prize is the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship.
- Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton: a Last Man Standing match. WWE.com calls it a rematch in a “deeply personal rivalry.”
- The Vision (Bron Breakker & Austin Theory) vs. Penta & Je’Von Evans: Breakker and Theory defend the World Tag Team Championship. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made it a title match after The Vision attacked Penta and Evans on the Oct. 26 Raw, per WWE.com.
Wrestling outlets have published conflicting reports about a possible Gunther vs. Finn Balor match. WWE.com had not announced it when we checked, so it is not on the card above.
Are any world titles on the line at Crown Jewel?
No. The two champion-vs-champion matches are for the separate Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel Championships, not the wrestlers’ own world titles. Reigns, Zayn, Green and Morgan all walk in as champions, but ESPN and Netflix both give the Crown Jewel Championships as the prize, and The National reports that none of the four wrestlers’ existing titles is defended. WWE describes the Crown Jewel title as made of 50 carats of diamonds. Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer won it last year, at an event The National notes was held in Perth, Australia.
The World Tag Team Championship is the only established title on the line, in The Vision vs. Penta & Je’Von Evans.
What time does WWE Crown Jewel 2026 start?

How can I watch WWE Crown Jewel 2026 in the U.S.?
In the U.S., Crown Jewel streams only on the ESPN App, and you need an ESPN Unlimited plan. ESPN’s Nov. 4 press release says you can get the plan directly or through a traditional pay-TV package. The release also says the ESPN App carries Countdown to Crown Jewel and the post-event show. It gives no price, and we could not find one on an official ESPN page, so check the price in the app before you subscribe.
Netflix Tudum’s preview still says the U.S. stream is on “ESPN Plus.” That wording is out of date. ESPN’s own release says ESPN Unlimited.
How can I watch WWE Crown Jewel outside the U.S.?
Outside the U.S., Crown Jewel streams on Netflix in the countries Netflix lists. WWE.com says the show streams “on Netflix internationally.” Netflix’s Tudum preview names 38 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
Ireland is not on Tudum’s list. If your country is not on the list either, Netflix has not said it is carrying the show there. Other broadcasters may carry WWE in some markets, so check local listings.
Where is WWE Crown Jewel 2026 being held?
The show is in Riyadh, but sources disagree on the venue. WWE’s announcement, which still appears on WWE.com’s event page, says Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD, and Netflix Tudum says the same. The National reports that Riyadh Season announced on Oct. 28 that the show would move to The Venue, also known as ANB Arena. According to The National, tickets for the original venue are being refunded and new ones issued, and no official reason was given. The paper also says the announcement came after weeks of uncertainty following missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. WWE.com had not updated its event page to the new venue when we checked.
When will WWE Crown Jewel 2026 results be posted?
WWE.com usually posts results on its event and match pages after the show, which starts at 17:00 UTC (noon ET); this page, written before the show, has none. It covers only the announced card, the start times and how to watch.
What comes after WWE Crown Jewel?
ESPN says an ESPN.com takeaways story after the show will look at what the results mean heading into Survivor Series: WarGames. Before that, Netflix Tudum says Monday’s Raw on Nov. 9 streams live on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

How we verified this
The match card, the Champion vs. Champion and Last Man Standing stipulations, the noon ET / 9 a.m. PT start and the U.S. and international viewing routes come from WWE.com’s Crown Jewel 2026 event page and its four match pages, re-read at 12:55 UTC (7:55 a.m. ET) on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026. At that time WWE.com listed four matches and no others. Reports from wrestling outlets about a possible Gunther vs. Finn Balor match still conflicted (some said it would be added, others that it had been dropped), and WWE had not announced one, so it is not part of the card here. The detail that Raw General Manager Adam Pearce granted the tag title match after The Vision attacked Penta and Evans on the Oct. 26 Raw comes from WWE.com’s match page.
The Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel Championship labels, the ESPN App and ESPN Unlimited requirement, the 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET Countdown and the post-event show come from ESPN’s press release of Nov. 4, 2026. Netflix Tudum uses the same Crown Jewel Men’s and Women’s Championship labels. The WWE.com match pages say only “Champion vs. Champion”. The National separately reports that the wrestlers’ existing titles are not defended in those two matches. ESPN’s release gives no price, and no official ESPN page we could read showed one, so this page gives none.
The description of the Crown Jewel title as made of 50 carats of diamonds, and Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer as last year’s Crown Jewel Champions, come from WWE’s announcement article on WWE.com. That last year’s event was in Perth, Australia, comes from The National.
The Netflix country list, the Nov. 9 Raw time and the original venue come from Netflix Tudum. Tudum’s line that the U.S. stream is on “ESPN Plus” is outdated, and we follow ESPN’s own release (ESPN Unlimited). Venue: WWE.com and Tudum still say Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD. The National (updated Nov. 1) reports that Riyadh Season announced a move to The Venue, also known as ANB Arena, on Oct. 28, with no official reason given. WWE.com had not reflected this when we read it at 12:55 UTC.
The times for GMT, Riyadh, Central and Sydney are our conversions from the official ET/PT times (the U.S. is on standard time, the UK on GMT and Sydney on AEDT, UTC+11). This page was written before the show and has no results.
