This weekend, WWE will storm into Chicago for the highly anticipated “Elimination Chamber” event, a key milestone on the journey to WrestleMania. The excitement is amplified by World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk leading a lineup of WWE Superstar appearances across various ESPN platforms leading up to the event.
Fans can look forward to comprehensive coverage of WWE Elimination Chamber, set to take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET from the United Center in Chicago. To access the live show, along with exclusive pre-event and post-event coverage, U.S. viewers will need a subscription to the ESPN Unlimited plan, available through the ESPN App.
In an additional treat for subscribers, the Elimination Chamber pre-event show will also stream on Disney+ in the United States. The integration marks a significant shift as all previously streamed WWE Premium Live Events, including last year’s Wrestlepalooza, Crown Jewel, Survivor Series: WarGames, and the 2026 Royal Rumble, will be accessible on Disney+ until March 2, 2026.
Key highlights from the week include daily appearances by WWE Superstars across ESPN programming such as SportsCenter, Get Up, First Take, and Unsportsmanlike. Stars including CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair are set to engage with fans, building anticipation for the Elimination Chamber.
Moreover, ESPN’s No-Contest Wrestling Podcast recently featured 17-time WWE Champion John Cena as a guest, generating buzz among listeners. Add to that, ESPN Social will provide an on-site presence at the Elimination Chamber, delivering real-time results and original content alongside WWE Superstars.
On the day of the event, fans can tune into ESPN Radio’s Hall of Fame Countdown to Elimination Chamber, where WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and ESPN Radio’s Brad Gilmore will offer insights and match card analysis ahead of the actions.
The partnership between Disney and ESPN showcases a strategic move to promote ESPN subscriptions while leveraging Disney+ as an additional platform for enhanced viewer engagement. This collaboration not only enriches viewer experience but also supports a diverse array of content for wrestling fans.
As the excitement builds for this weekend’s event, WWE enthusiasts can look forward to an entertaining spectacle and broad coverage enhancing their viewing experience.
