WWE Elimination Chamber scheduled for Chicago in February

Elimination Chamber is scheduled for Chicago on Feb. 28, Wrestlenomics confirmed with multiple sources.

The date and location of the WWE PLE were first reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. WWE did not immediately respond to a request from Wrestlenomics to confirm the date and location.

The Chicago event would be the first time Elimination Chamber was held in the United States since 2021 in St. Petersburg, Fla., in the WWE Thunderdome at Tropicana Field. Last year’s Elimination Chamber was at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The most recent WWE event in Illinois was a Sept. 5 Smackdown at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, just outside Chicago. The event garnered 16,642 tickets distributed, according to estimates by WrestleTix.

The last WWE PLE in the state was Survivor Series 2023, which also was in Allstate Arena, which generated a $2.2 million gate from 16,579 tickets sold and ended with CM Punk’s return to the company. There were 17,102 tickets distributed for the event, according to WrestleTix.

As of Tuesday, Elimination Chamber would be the second PLE in WWE’s 2026 calendar, which begins with the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Jan. 31.
