Is WrestleMania 2 days long?

WrestleMania is the biggest event in all of professional wrestling. First held in 1985, the event has since been held annually during the first week of April or the last week of March. It is known as the Super Bowl of Sports Entertainment. While WWE runs all year long, many consider the event to be the end of a season.

Up until 2020, the show was the greatest night of professional wrestling. However, since that year, it has no longer been just one night. Since WrestleMania 36, the event has been split into two nights known as WrestleMania Night One and Night Two, or sometimes WrestleMania Saturday and WrestleMania Sunday.

How many nights is WrestleMania?

WrestleMania is a two-night event and will take place on April 19-20, 2025. There is more than just one simple reason why WrestleMania is now held across two nights. The first two-night WrestleMania was held in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced every sporting event to shut down. However, WWE had continued its programming and worked behind closed doors without a crowd.

Due to the pandemic, they had to change many plans for the event. WWE claimed the event was “too big for one night” and stretched out the matches across two nights to better use creativity to fill in for the lack of a roster.

Another reason is that WrestleMania 35 was criticized for being too long, clocking in at over seven hours. A two-night event allows WWE to spread out the matches and give each one more time. This can improve the overall quality of the event and give fans more value for their money.

Lastly, a two-night event allows WWE a potential financial benefit. They can sell tickets to two separate events, and they can also charge more for premium seating and merchandise.

How long does WrestleMania last?

Traditionally, WrestleMania has been a five to six-hour event, including the pre-show. However, WrestleMania 35 had a stacked card and went over seven hours, which caused a lot of fatigue to the fans in the crowd. This prompted WWE to split the two nights. Now, each night, it clocks in around four hours.

How many hours is WrestleMania each night?

WrestleMania is about four hours on each night. This brings the total runtime to about eight hours, which is significantly longer than any single-night event WWE has ever organized.
