Updated Match Card

Two matches have been officially announced for Saturday Night's Main Event XLV:

• Danhausen vs. JD McDonagh
• Fatal Influence

Danhausen's match caps a storyline with Judgment Day and leans on his New York crossover appeal, notably after WWE tied him to the Knicks' championship run. Additional matches are expected to be added to the card on upcoming episodes of Raw and SmackDown.

Viewing Information

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLV will stream live from Madison Square Garden on Saturday, July 18, 2026. Doors open at 6 p.m. ET, with the main show starting at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

In the U.S., fans can watch SNME on Peacock. For most international markets, the event will be available on YouTube. While WWE’s main-roster premium live events transitioned to ESPN's app in 2025, Peacock maintained the four annual Saturday Night's Main Event specials, making SNME a rare WWE live event not found on ESPN.

Event Context and Storylines

This event is positioned between Night of Champions and SummerSlam, serving as a critical point to advance key storylines for the upcoming two-day PLE in Minneapolis. The card is expected to further developments for Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, who are anticipated to clash for the World Heavyweight Championship, as well as outlining Undisputed Champion Sami Zayn’s next steps after CM Punk ended his nine-day title reign on a recent episode of Raw.

The MSG stage, coupled with the Fanatics Fest crowd is considered a natural setting for potential surprise returns or debuts.
