The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble is set to make history as it heads to Indianapolis for an epic night of action, surprises, and championship stakes. For the first time ever, the Royal Rumble will take place outside of January, landing on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium.
This is sure to be a confusing event for many fans who are expecting to see it on Netflix. But the WWE deal sees Premium Live Events going to the company’s former home, Peacock in the United States until March 2026. The Royal Rumble is the first of those events.
The Royal Rumble match remains the highlight of the event, with 30 men and 30 women battling for a chance to headline WrestleMania 41. This year’s winners will have the opportunity to challenge for the top championships in WWE: the Undisputed WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship for the men, and the WWE Women’s Championship or the Women’s World Championship for the women.

- Men’s Royal Rumble Match: 30-man Royal Rumble match for a world championship opportunity at WrestleMania 41
