Lucha libre in Mexico City: the CMLL calendar at Arena México and Arena Coliseo, 2026
Lucha libre is Mexico's wrestling tradition, and CMLL, the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, gives visitors two rooms to watch it in: Arena México in Colonia Doctores and Arena Coliseo in the historic centre.
Our catalogue lists 11 productions at the two arenas between October 17 and December 29, 2026: five series that repeat on one weekday and six one-off cards. Everything below is per our listing. Each production links to its catalogue page, and the seller's page (ticketmaster.com.mx) holds the time, entry rules and availability.
The Weekly Rhythm, Per Our Listings
Whether you have one night or a long weekend, the calendar gives you options: Tuesday and Thursday for a weeknight plan, then Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the weekend. Pick a weekday, then check the arena. The weekday only describes where the listed dates fall; it is not a promise of a standing schedule.

Before You Go
- Open the seller's page for your date. It holds the time, entry rules and availability. We do not publish them.
- Confirm the venue. In our listings Thursday and Saturday are Arena Coliseo, while Tuesday, Friday and Sunday are Arena México. Each one-off card above names its arena.
- Doing both arenas? Arena Coliseo is in the historic centre and Arena México is in Colonia Doctores, so a Saturday and Sunday pairing puts a night in each.
- Buy through the seller named on the listing, not a third party.
- Check again the week you travel. Dates can change.
- Build the trip around it. Our monthly guides cover the rest of the city: October, November and December.
