WWE has confirmed the location for the upcoming SummerSlam 2021 pay-per-view! WWE had previously announced a slate of new dates lining the upcoming return to live shows, and one of these dates had slotted SummerSlam 2021 for August 21st. But the interesting thing about this first announcement was that it did not come with a location. Making matters even more interesting was that Asuka seemed to point to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as a potential place for SummerSlam on Instagram. Now WWE has officially confirmed that this will be the case as they prepare for their first SummerSlam in an NFL stadium.

WWE has officially announced that Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV (the home stadium of the Las Vegas Raiders) will be the hosting location for SummerSlam 2021 on August 21st at 8:00PM EST. They also confirm that this will be one of the first sporting events held at full capacity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic with tickets for the event going on sale starting on Friday, June 18th.

Nick Khan, WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer, had this to say about the upcoming SummerSlam 2021 event, "Coming out of the pandemic, it was important to us to have a big event like SummerSlam in Las Vegas. We expect to deliver a great night of sports-entertainment for the people of the city and a boost in foot traffic for the casinos and local businesses." For everyone else who can't attend, SummerSlam will be streaming live on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in international territories.
