February 25, 2026 – As announced earlier today by WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels, Stand & Deliver, NXT’s annual marquee event, will emanate live from The Factory at The District in St. Louis on Saturday, April 4.

The Premium Live Event will feature high-stakes championship matches and showcase the brightest young talent in sports entertainment, including NXT Champion Joe Hendry, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, NXT North American Champion Myles Borne, NXT Women’s North American Champion Izzi Dame and others.

Tickets for Stand & Deliver will go on sale starting Wednesday, March 4 at 10am local via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can purchase tickets during an exclusive presale by visiting Ticketmaster.com starting Tuesday, March 3 at 10am local.

Additionally, Friday Night SmackDown will take place from Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Friday, April 3. Tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.com.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted the following about the change…

“The show had been internally planned for Vegas initially. The feeling was that by moving the show up to 4/4, Stand and Deliver would have a stronger chance of standing alone (no pun intended) and wouldn’t be lost in the sea of other WWE broadcast events taking place, plus the schedule change could also free up the WWE production crew from having to produce three events in a 24 hour time period (Smackdown, Hall of Fame, NXT) right before diving into Night One of Wrestlemania 42.”
