Turin, Italy is set to make history as the host of WWE’s first-ever Premium Live Event (PLE) in the country, dubbed “Clash in Italy,” on May 31, 2026. The event at the Inalpi Arena marks a significant expansion for the global wrestling entertainment company, signaling a deeper commitment to the European market. This landmark event will be the centerpiece of a broader summer tour encompassing multiple television broadcasts and live shows across Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.
The announcement, made by WWE, details a comprehensive schedule designed to engage fans throughout the region. Beyond “Clash in Italy,” the tour includes televised appearances of both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, bringing WWE’s flagship programs to international audiences. This expansion aims to capitalize on the growing popularity of professional wrestling in Europe and provide fans with increased access to live WWE action.
Monday Night Raw is slated to air from Turin on June 1, immediately following the “Clash in Italy” PLE. The tour will then move to Paris, France, with a Raw broadcast from the Accor Arena on June 8, and continue to London, U.K., for another Raw reveal at the O2 Arena on June 22. Friday Night SmackDown will also be featured prominently, with broadcasts scheduled for May 29 at the Olimpic Arena Badalona in Barcelona, Spain, and June 5 at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy.
The European Summer Tour extends beyond the televised shows, incorporating a series of live events in several cities. Fans in Strasbourg, France, will have the opportunity to see WWE action on June 2 at the Zénith de Strasbourg. The tour then heads to Lisbon, Portugal, on June 3 with a show at the MEO Arena, followed by a performance in Madrid, Spain, on June 4 at the Palacio Vistalegre.
