The 2025 Royal Rumble, also promoted as Royal Rumble: Indianapolis, is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It will be the 38th annual Royal Rumble and it will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, marking the first Royal Rumble to not take place during the month of January. The event will air via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This will also be WWE's first PPV and livestreaming event to air on Netflix in most markets outside the US, following the WWE Network's move to the service in January 2025.
The event is based around the Royal Rumble match, and the winner traditionally receives a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For the 2025 event, the men's and women's winners receive a choice of which championship to challenge for at WrestleMania 41. The men's winner can choose to challenge for either Raw's World Heavyweight Championship or SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship, while the women have the choice between Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship.
