What Is The Full WWE Night Of Champions 2026 Card?
We saw a Triple Threat match for the WWE championship added in the first segment of SmackDown.
That makes six matches spanning both brands, with the two tournament finals carrying the heaviest long-term stakes. WWE assembled the lineup almost entirely through tournament progress and television angles over the past few weeks.
What’s At Stake In The King And Queen Of The Ring Finals?
A trip to SummerSlam in Minnesota and a title shot is on the line for the winners. Jey Uso will automatically pick Cody Rhodes, or whomever holds the blue brand’s title after NOC. Oba Femi will almost certainly choose Roman Reigns.
On the women’s side, Liv Morgan is already the Women’s World Champion, so she’ll go after WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, if she’s healthy. IYO will likely look to run it back against Liv for her title if she wins at NOC.
Both finals reward the winner with a world title shot at SummerSlam, which makes them the most consequential matches on the card. Oba Femi’s rapid main-roster ascent has positioned him as a potential first-time world champion, while Jey Uso carries heavy Bloodline storyline weight into the final.
Which Championships Are On The Line In Riyadh?
It’s not old school NOC with every title in the company on the line, but there is a good amount of gold up for grabs.
The Undisputed WWE Championship headlines after Sami Zayn’s actions turned the Cody Rhodes–GUNTHER Clash in Italy rematch into a three-way for Riyadh. Trick Williams defends the United States Championship against Ricky Saints, who earned the shot by winning a No. 1 contender’s match on SmackDown. Tiffany Stratton also defends the Women’s United States Championship against Jade Cargill, the first time that title is defended on a premium live event.
How Can You Watch WWE Night Of Champions 2026?
ESPN is the way to watch in the United States. In fact, the promotion is packing the first hour with marquee matches again for this premium live event.
Internationally, the show streams on Netflix in most markets, with SuperSport carrying it in Sub-Saharan Africa and Abema in Japan. It starts at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT from Kingdom Arena, an early bell that North American fans will need to plan around. For the full date, time and location details, the event is set for Saturday, June 27.
