When is WrestleMania 41? What to know about WWE's premier event ahead of Royal Rumble

The march to WrestleMania 41 is officially underway.

WrestleMania season is the grandest time for WWE, kicking off the months-long journey several stars will make on their way to the company's premier event. At the Royal Rumble, it's become a tradition for that year's WrestleMania logo to be put up in the stadium, and it will remain a constant presence to remind all that the two-day event is on the horizon. It's still more than two months away, but two tickets will be punched to WrestleMania 41 on Saturday, and plenty more spots will be filled in the coming weeks.

With the journey to WrestleMania now started, here's what to know about this year's event:

When is WrestleMania 41?

WrestleMania 41 will be held April 19-20. It's the latest calendar dates for the event.

Where is WrestleMania 41?

WrestleMania 41 will be staged at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It will be the first WrestleMania at the stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, and the first one to take place in the city since WrestleMania 9 in 1993.

Who will be at WrestleMania 41?

The only known wrestlers competing at WrestleMania 41 are the men's and women's Royal Rumble winners. They will be determined Saturday night.

However, one name has been confirmed for the event. John Cena will compete in what will be his final WrestleMania match as part of his farewell tour. However, it is undetermined who he will face and if it will be for a prize. If he wins the Royal Rumble match, then he would lock down a spot in a title match.
