The 2026 WWE Elimination Chamber streams live on Saturday, February 28, from the United Center in Chicago. U.S. viewers can watch exclusively through the ESPN App or ESPN Unlimited, while international audiences can stream the event live on Netflix. The main card begins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.
With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, Elimination Chamber sets the stage for championship clashes and career-defining moments. This year’s card features two high-stakes Chamber matches along with two major title bouts. The winners inside the unforgiving steel structure will punch their tickets to WrestleMania, while champions look to survive the final premium live event before the biggest show of the year.
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match
The Women’s Chamber match features Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Kiana James, and Raquel Rodriguez competing for a WrestleMania 42 title opportunity. The winner will challenge current SmackDown Champion Jade Cargill on the grand stage. Will this be Tiffy’s Time again? Perhaps the breakout moment for Raquel? Will underdog Kiana James break out of her Gulia’s shadow? With favorites and longshots sharing a Chamber, anything can happen.
Men’s Elimination Chamber Match
The Men’s Chamber match brings together Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Je’Von Evans, and Trick Williams in one of the most stacked fields of the year. With multiple former world champions inside the structure, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Rhodes enters as a frontrunner, and a victory would position him for a WrestleMania showdown against Drew McIntyre in Las Vegas. However, the luckiest Uso might be the spoiler that leaves this event with the chance. After the Royal Rumble where he eliminated John Cena to win, fans have learned to not bet against the Yeet-man in tight times.
Becky Lynch (c) vs. AJ Lee – Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch defends her title against AJ Lee in what marks Lee’s first singles match in over a decade. Competing in her hometown of Chicago, AJ Lee looks to capture championship gold in front of a passionate crowd. The matchup blends nostalgia with high stakes as Lynch aims to halt Lee’s comeback moment. She could certainly do it. That’s not just Cord Cutters News saying it. Lots of people are saying it. Sports Illustrated is saying it…
CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Bálor – WWE World Heavyweight Championship
In the likely main event, CM Punk defends the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Bálor. The challenger may have backup from The Judgment Day, but Punk will look to retain his title in Chicago. With WrestleMania approaching, the outcome of this championship clash could shift the landscape of WWE, especially with the possibility of Roman Reigns appearing during or after the match. How many bullets does the Prince have ready to go. Could Finn find less Judgment from a team of MFTs?
