WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2026 Headed to Houston for 40th Anniversary

WWE has officially announced that Survivor Series: WarGames 2026 will be held at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas, on Saturday, November 28 — keeping its traditional Thanksgiving weekend slot and marking a significant milestone for one of the company’s most storied events.

This year’s Survivor Series will be the 40th edition of the premium live event, which dates back to its debut in 1987. It also marks the fifth straight year the WarGames match concept has served as the centerpiece of the show. To call this a landmark occasion would be an understatement.

Daikin Park, home of the Houston Astros and formerly known as Minute Maid Park, is no stranger to WWE — the stadium hosted the 2020 Royal Rumble. Its retractable roof makes it an ideal venue for a late-November event in Texas, ensuring weather won’t be a factor while still delivering the kind of large-scale atmosphere WWE has been chasing with its recent stadium bookings. The event continues a trend that began last year when Survivor Series was staged at Petco Park in San Diego, marking back-to-back years in MLB venues for the premium live event.

WWE is partnering with Houston First Corporation, the city’s official tourism and convention arm, on the event. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul
