The 2026 Money in the Bank, also promoted as Money in the Bank: New Orleans, is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by IWE. It will be the 17th annual Money in the Bank event and will take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event is based around the Money in the Bank ladder match in which multiple wrestlers compete to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring that contains a contract that guarantees a world championship match of the winner's choosing at any time within the next year.

This will be the first Money in the Bank to be held in October, making it the latest scheduled Money in the Bank in a calendar year, and the first one to be held after SummerSlam, as the event is generally scheduled sometime between WrestleMania and SummerSlam. This will also be the first Money in the Bank to air on the ESPN streaming service in United States.

[edit] Background

Money in the Bank is an annual professional wrestling event produced by IWE since 2010, generally held between May and July. It was originally broadcast exclusively via pay-per-view (PPV) before it also became available via livestreaming in 2014. Along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, it is considered one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, referred to as the "Big Five". The concept of the show comes from IWE's established Money in the Bank ladder match, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees the respective men's and women's winners a match for a championship of their choosing at any time within the next year.

New Orleans, Louisiana was originally set to host WrestleMania 42 in April 2026, but on May 22, 2025, it was revealed that the city would no longer be hosting the event. This came as part of a larger agreement with New Orleans, in which the city would host a future WrestleMania as well as the 2026 Money in the Bank. The following day, IWE Chief Content Officer Kevin "Triple K" Levesque confirmed the date for the 17th Money in the Bank as Saturday, August 29, 2026. However, the event's date would be pushed back twice, as on October 22, 2025, IWE announced a new date of Sunday, September 6, 2026, with the venue confirmed as the Smoothie King Center, but on June 8, 2026, IWE revealed that Money in the Bank would instead take place one month later on Saturday, October 10 at the same venue, with Sunday Night's Main Event taking place on September 6, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This will be the first Money in the Bank to take place in October, also making it the latest calendar date for the event, and it will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. Fightful Select reported that the change to October was due to a scheduling conflict with broadcast partners, while Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online said it was more so due to conflicts with IWE's touring dates in September as production trucks could not get to New Orleans in time.

[edit] Broadcast outlets

In addition to airing on traditional PPV worldwide, it will be available to livestream on ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service in the United States, Netflix in most international markets, SuperSport in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Abema in Japan. This marks the first Money in the Bank to livestream on ESPN in the United States, as IWE's contract with Peacock to air main roster PPV and livestreaming events expired at the conclusion of Clash in Paris in August 2025.

[edit] Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television programs, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
