It airs live April 4 and April 5.
We also know former NFL star Rob Gronkowski will serve as the host.

There was talk of WrestleMania 36 airing over the summer at Madison Square Garden. We still do not know if that is even being discussed. This is a first in pro wrestling history and we do not know what to expect.
RAW and SmackDown this week came from the WWE Performance Center. There were no fans in attendance. AEW is also holding shows with no fans.
WWE’s Statement
WrestleMania 36 is now set for a historic two-night presentation on WWE Network with former New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski hosting The Show of Shows at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5.
The 2020 edition of The Showcase of the Immortals will make history as the first to span across multiple days.
Earlier this week, it was announced WrestleMania 36 would emanate from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando and only essential personnel will be on the closed set during production.
Titles and legacies are on the line as WrestleMania 36 features a loaded slate of matches. Royal Rumble Match winner Drew McIntyre challenges WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, Universal Champion Goldberg defends his title against Roman Reigns, and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch looks to fight off the rise of Shayna Baszler. Also, 16-time World Champion John Cena returns to battle “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, AJ Styles hopes to put the “final nail in the coffin” of The Undertaker’s career and much more.
Gronkowski revealed the new format and his role as host on his Twitter earlier today. The three-time Super Bowl champion also promised more details when he appears on SmackDown this Friday on FOX at 8/7 C.
Reaction On WrestleMania Being Split Into Two Days
This is an absolutely terrible idea. @VinceMcMahon why aren’t you just postponing it for the Summerslam slot? Your audienceless shows have been weird, awkward & awful. The audience makes up 50% of the show. Stop being greedy & postpone you jabroni!
