ROH Death Before Dishonor Set for August 21 at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena

Ring of Honor has officially announced Death Before Dishonor 2026, scheduling the pay-per-view for Friday, August 21 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The venue is becoming something of a home for the event — this will mark the second consecutive year that Death Before Dishonor has been held at the legendary South Philly building. The 2300 Arena carries deep roots in the history of professional wrestling, having hosted countless memorable indie and ROH shows over the decades, making it a fitting backdrop for one of the promotion’s marquee annual events.

No matches have been announced yet for the card, but the confirmation of a date and venue gives ROH fans a concrete target on the calendar as the promotion builds toward its biggest summer offering. With six weeks between now and August 21, expect the company to begin filling out the card in the coming weeks through its weekly television and pay-per-view programming.

Death Before Dishonor has long been one of Ring of Honor’s most recognizable event names, stretching back to the promotion’s early years. Its return to Philadelphia — a city that has historically been among ROH’s strongest markets — signals the promotion’s continued investment in the brand. August 21 is shaping up to be a significant night for ROH.
