The road to Wrestlemania has landed in Chicago. WWE‘s Elimination Chamber 2026 event is taking over the Windy City, home of wrestling star CM Punk, for the first time.

Similar to the Royal Rumble, the event features two signature Elimination Chamber matches for men and women wrestlers. For those who haven’t watched the event before, WWE stars enter in a chain-linked steel structure that surrounds the ring. Six competitors are in the match. Four are in pods, while the other two face-off in the ring to start. The wrestlers in pods enter the contest one at a time after a set timer. This is a last man standing format, so the only way to win is by pinning or submitting every competitor until one participant is left.

The men’s match sees Randy Orton vs. LA Knight vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Trick Williams vs. Jey Uso. The women’s match will see Tiffany Stratton vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka vs. Kiana James vs. Raquel Rodriguez.

Outside of the Elimination Chamber matches, Chicago’s own CM Punk will defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor, while his wife, AJ Lee will compete in her first singles match since 2015, when she challenges superstar Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

Will CM Punk’s homecoming be a celebration or a major upset? Who will make it out of the Elimination Chamber for their chance to go to Wrestlemania? Will Offset make a surprise cameo? Here’s every way to tune into the WWE event live online.
