WWE to bring two-day SummerSlam to New Jersey in 2025

WWE is bringing SummerSlam to the New York/New Jersey area next year.

The company announced today that SummerSlam 2025 will take place on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This will be the first time SummerSlam will be a two-night event, although WWE has previously announced that SummerSlam 2026 in Minneapolis will also be held over two nights.

MetLife Stadium is the home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets. It hosted WrestleMania 29 in 2013 and WrestleMania 35 in 2019.

WWE has partnered with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority for this deal to bring SummerSlam 2025 to MetLife Stadium.

“New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and the entire NJSEA team have been phenomenal partners, hosting several major UFC events over the past few years, including the record-breaking UFC 302 in June,” said Peter Dropick – TKO Executive Vice President of Event Development and Operations – in a press release. “We are excited to bring WWE back to New Jersey in a big way with the first two-day SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium.”

SummerSlam returns to the New York/New Jersey area for the first time since the Barclays Center in Brooklyn hosted the event from 2015 to 2018.

Ticket information for the show has not yet been announced, but WWE has a mailing list for fans interested in pre-sale information as it becomes available.
