WWE and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA) today announced that MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will host the first-ever two-night SummerSlam on Saturday, Aug. 2 and Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025.

Ahead of the general ticket on-sale date for SummerSlam 2025, which will be announced at a later date, fans can register now to receive an exclusive presale offer here.

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

SummerSlam 2024 at Cleveland Browns Stadium drew a crowd of 57,719 fans, generating the largest gate of any event – outside of WrestleMania – in WWE history. Additionally, SummerSlam 2024 set all-time records for viewership, sponsorship, merchandise and social media.

The NJSEA was created in 1971 and manages the iconic MetLife Sports Complex, which has entertained millions of visitors from all over the world. The massive sports and entertainment hub has hosted several world-class events at MetLife Stadium, including WrestleMania 29, WrestleMania 35, Super Bowl XLVIII, a Copa America Semifinal and Final, and concerts by the biggest names in the entertainment industry such as Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift. MetLife Stadium is home to the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets and will host the FIFA World Cup™ Final in 2026.”

Triple H Announced Changes To WWE SummerSlam Following 2024 Event

Earlier this year, WWE announced that SummerSlam would take place over two nights in 2026, but it was unclear what that meant for the 2025 edition of the summer tradition. Following the 2024 show, Triple H made it clear that fans had just witnessed the last one-night SummerSlam.

Explaining why the change was happening, The Game said there had been a lot more that could have been added to the event this year, but there just wasn’t the time to do it in. With the two-night card now being official, the company’s Chief Content Officer will have no such constraints in the future.
