Video: Wrestlemania Announces Plans To Come To Tampa April 10

TAMPA, FL — On Saturday, World Wrestling Entertainment announced that Tampa will be a host city for its annual pop culture extravaganza, WrestleMania, in 2021.

WrestleMania 37, presented by Snickers, will take place Saturday, April 10, and Sunday, April 11, at Raymond James Stadium.

Arlington/Dallas, Texas, will host Wrestlemania 38 on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at AT&T Stadium, and Inglewood/Los Angeles will host WrestleMania 39, Sunday, April 2, 2023, at SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park.

“Florida is excited to welcome back WrestleMania to Tampa in April at Raymond James Stadium. Florida has continued to work with professional sports and entertainment to safely operate while generating revenue and protecting jobs," said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. "WrestleMania will bring tens of millions of dollars to the Tampa area, and we look forward to hosting more sporting and entertainment events in Florida this year."

“The opportunity for Tampa Bay to host WrestleMania in April is, in true WWE fashion, the perfect comeback story and marks a clear indication that our beautiful city is poised to bounce back stronger than ever," Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said. "We can’t wait to once again showcase all that team Tampa Bay has to offer."

“The City of Inglewood looks forward to the opportunity to host WrestleMania in 2023 and celebrates the deferral of this year’s event to Tampa Bay, so they can have their rightful WrestleMania moment. Our time will come,” said Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr.

Wrestlemania 36 was scheduled to take place in at Raymond James Stadium last March but was relocated to the WWE Performance Center training facility in Orlando due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was held without an audience.

WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon thanked DeSantis, Castor and the mayor of the other two host cities for their "graciousness and flexibility in what was a collaborative effort to bring the next three WrestleManias to these iconic stadiums in their world-class cities."

WWE will announce ticket availability and safety protocols for WrestleMania 37 in the coming weeks.
