WWE has announced 11 new event dates spanning January and February 2027, giving fans their first look at where the company’s flagship programming will touch down early in the new year. The dates were revealed in a press release, according to Fightful, which reported the announcement was issued on Thursday, November 5.
Per F4W Online, the newly confirmed schedule breaks down to six episodes of Raw, three episodes of SmackDown, and two non-televised live events. The bulk of the dates fall across January and February 2027, giving the promotion a clearer roadmap for its weekly television taping schedule heading into the new year.
Among the specific dates included in the announcement is a house show set for St. Paul, Minnesota, on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2027. That event stands out as one of the two non-televised live events in the batch, offering fans in the Twin Cities market an early opportunity to see WWE talent in action without the cameras rolling for weekly television.
WWE regularly issues these advance date announcements to allow local markets, arenas and fans to plan around upcoming tapings, and this batch covers a meaningful stretch of the Raw and SmackDown calendar for the first two months of 2027. With nine of the eleven dates tied to televised tapings, the announcement gives a strong indication of how WWE intends to structure its early 2027 touring routes for both of its flagship weekly shows.
Neither Fightful nor F4W Online detailed the full list of cities and venues attached to every date in this release, but the confirmation of six Raw tapings and three SmackDown tapings signals a busy start to the year for both brands. As is typical with WWE’s advance scheduling announcements, additional details such as full location listings and any special go-home or go-away show designations are often rolled out separately as each taping date approaches.
Fans in markets hosting the confirmed dates, including St. Paul for the New Year’s Day live event, can expect ticket information and additional programming details to follow as WWE finalizes its early 2027 touring plans.
