America's Largest Wrestling Organization WWE's Biggest Summer Festival 'WWE SummerSlam 2026' to be Held Over Two Days Again This Year! Fully Live Streamed on 'ABEMA PPV' on August 2 (Sun) & 3 (Mon)!

ABEMA, the "new future TV," has decided to fully live stream the premium live event "WWE SummerSlam 2026," hosted by the world's largest wrestling organization WWE, on "ABEMA PPV" over two days, August 2 (Sun) and August 3 (Mon), 2026.

"SummerSlam" is a traditional major WWE event that has been held since 1988 and is affectionately known as "The Biggest Party of the Summer." It is positioned as one of WWE's "Big Five" alongside "WrestleMania," "Royal Rumble," "Survivor Series," and "Money in the Bank," and has produced numerous classic matches and historic moments every year.

The 2026 event will be held over two consecutive days, following last year. The venue will be U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The hosting of a WWE stadium event at this venue holds historical significance, with superstars from both the RAW and SmackDown brands clashing on a grand scale with tens of thousands of spectators.

The biggest appeal of the two-day format is the overwhelming volume of matches. Expectations are high for a spectacular lineup each day, exceeding that of regular PLEs, including world championship matches, women's championship matches, grudge match finales that have been built up over long periods, and special matches.

Another major highlight is the gathering of superstars who currently symbolize WWE. While the match card has not yet been announced, many big matches are being predicted by overseas media and industry insiders, further heightening anticipation for the event.

"WWE SummerSlam," also referred to as "another WrestleMania," is an important event that serves as a major turning point in the annual storyline. Please enjoy the overwhelming scale unique to a stadium event and the world's top-tier professional wrestling entertainment on ABEMA.
