Roman Reigns returns to the ring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, Nov. 7, to defend the WWE Crown Jewel Championship against Sami Zayn. The bout serves as the main event for WWE Crown Jewel 2026, held at ANB Arena. This follow-up to the recent Money in the Bank event sees Reigns, who retained the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight, shift focus to the regional title.
The card consists of four matches, with three championships contested. Liv Morgan faces Chelsea Green for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship. In a Last Man Standing match, Cody Rhodes wrestles Randy Orton. The Vision, the reigning World Tag Team Champions, defend their titles against a team of Penta and Je'Von Evans.
The event begins at 12 p.m. Eastern Time, or 9 a.m. Pacific Time. WWE officials noted that the previous year's broadcast ranked in the top 10 in nearly 40 countries. The company expects higher viewership this year. Celebrity attendees are expected, including Logan Paul and Mike Tyson.
Viewers must stream the event on ESPN Unlimited. It does not air on traditional cable channels, nor is it available as a pay-per-view purchase. The subscription starts at $31.99 per month and grants access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN on ABC, ESPN Deportes, ESPN+, SECN, ACCN, SECN+, and ACCNX.
ESPN Unlimited does not offer a standalone free trial. However, a five-day free trial for DirecTV provides access to the service. The DirecTV Entertainment package costs $59.99 for the first month and $89.99 monthly thereafter. It includes over 90 channels, unlimited cloud DVR, 105 additional MyFree channels, and access to Disney+ and Hulu.
Alternatively, the Disney Streaming Bundle packages ESPN Unlimited with Hulu and Disney+ for $35.99 per month. This combined price saves nearly 40% compared to subscribing to the three services individually. Smart TV users can watch via the DirecTV or ESPN apps with a valid subscription.
WWE programming continues after the event concludes. New episodes of WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown are scheduled for later in the week.
