Following the Royal Rumble, we are officially on the Road to WrestleMania – and the next stop is the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view!
The staple of the pay-per-view is the match of the same name. An Elimination Chamber Match begins with two Superstars in the ring and four other competitors enclosed in their respective pods. Every five minutes, a pod door will open, allowing another competitor to join the contest. This process continues until all pods are empty. When a Superstar is pinned or submits, they are eliminated and must exit the Chamber. The last Superstar remaining will be the WWE Champion.
How do you watch along? When does the pay-per-view start? And what matches are on the card? Here at sportzwiki, we have all the information you need to know ahead of the show!
When is Elimination Chamber?
This year’s Elimination Chamber is currently scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 21st and will emanate from the WWE ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida. No live fans will be in attendance, but a virtual audience will be.
The “main show” will begin at midnight in the USA. However, there will be a ‘Kickoff’ show on for one hour first from 7PM EST, which will be shown for FREE on WWE’s YouTube channel, as well as Facebook and Twitter.
How can I watch Elimination Chamber?
The Elimination Chamber Kickoff will also stream at 7PM EST USA time on the WWE Network, with the pay-per-view starting immediately after at midnight.
The WWE Network costs £9.99 per month for subscribers, and can be cancelled at any time. There is a free tier of the WWE Network available, however pay-per-views require a paid subscription – which unlocks all content on the Network.
