Summary

WWE has expanded its 2026 European Summer Tour by adding a special Tuesday night SmackDown from London's O2 Arena on June 23. The episode will take place one night after Raw runs the same building on June 22.

The company also announced a live event for Sheffield's Utilita Arena on June 24, giving the final stretch of the UK leg three straight nights across Birmingham, London, and Sheffield.

Ticket presales for the new London and Sheffield dates are scheduled to begin May 12 at 10 a.m. BST, with general sales opening May 14 at 10 a.m. BST through WWE's events page.

Updated WWE European Summer Tour schedule

The newly announced stops join a tour that already includes Barcelona, Turin, Paris, Cardiff, Birmingham, and other dates across the UK and mainland Europe. WWE's schedule for that run also features Clash in Italy, the company's first Premium Live Event in Italy.

The added SmackDown date gives WWE a two-night stay at the O2 Arena, with Raw on Monday and SmackDown on Tuesday. That comes as the blue brand is also reportedly heading back to a shorter format this summer, as noted in our earlier report on SmackDown reportedly set to return to two hours this summer.

What the London O2 doubleheader means for WWE

Running Raw and SmackDown on back-to-back nights at the O2 Arena gives WWE a bigger television footprint in London than a standard overseas loop. It also turns the final week of the tour into a more concentrated UK swing, with London and Sheffield added after the previously announced Cardiff and Birmingham dates.

For UK fans, the bigger takeaway is that WWE is continuing to stack major televised and live events around this summer's European run rather than treating it as a house show tour alone.
