How to watch WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 on UK TV

Elimination Chamber 2022 will take place on Saturday, February 19 but for the first time in its history it will be held outside of the United States.

In a world first, Saudi Arabia will be hosting the iconic pay-per-view, the first time it has hosted one of the existing live events in the WWE's annual calendar rather than specially set-up ones like Crown Jewel or Super ShowDown.

Elimination Chamber is being hosted at the Jeddah Superdome, the world's largest pillarless Superdome.

The show is one of two large-scale WWE events the company will be presenting in Saudi Arabia in 2022 in co-operation with the country's General Entertainment Authority.

Handily for UK-based WWE fans who want to watch it live, it's the latest premium live event to be given a Saturday rather than Sunday slot.

Even more handily, because of the time difference between the UK and Saudi Arabia, it'll be possible to watch the event at a reasonably sociable time rather than staying up into the early hours to watch it live to avoid spoilers.

Although the exact start time hasn't yet been confirmed, the WWE's last event in Saudi Arabia, Crown Jewel, started with a kick-off show at 4pm UK time and then the main show began at 5pm.

Pre-shows often air for free on YouTube as well as being shown on the WWE Network, although it's not clear yet whether that will be the case for this year's Elimination Chamber.

How to watch WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 in the UK

Elimination Chamber will be available as a WWE pay-per-view on BT Sport Box Office.

BT Sport Box Office is available on BT TV channel 495, or Sky channel 494. Virgin Media subscribers can access BT Sport Box Office by heading to the On Demand section on their TV box and selecting 'Live Events'.

What is the card for WWE's Elimination Chamber 2022?

A staple of the road to WrestleMania, Elimination Chamber is renowned for the brutal steel cage matches that give it its name.

There's not much detail yet on the potential card for the show, but it's reasonable to expect that the ramifications of some of the big surprises from Royal Rumble, held just three weeks before, are likely to be felt.

Generally though, the events in Saudi Arabia draw WWE's biggest names - both from the current roster and veteran stars so some big names are likely.

Previously, The Undertaker, Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Kane have all taken part in events there, alongside Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and many others.

Meanwhile in 2019, Natalya, who holds the Guinness World Record for women with the most WWE PPV appearances in her career, fought Lacey Evans in Saudi Arabia's first-ever women's match.
