When and where will Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford take place?

Mark your calendars: Canelo vs Crawford is set for Saturday, September 13, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The venue is the massive Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Raiders – an unusual choice for boxing, since most big fights in Vegas happen in arenas. Allegiant can seat on the order of 60,000+ for boxing, meaning this could be one of the largest crowds for a boxing event in Las Vegas history. The date notably falls on the weekend of Mexican Independence Day, a time Canelo often fights to honor his heritage. Originally, the bout was penciled in for Sept. 12 (Friday) but got shifted to Saturday the 13th for logistical reasons. Now, everything is locked in for that Saturday night under the bright lights of Vegas.

The stadium setting hints at the scale of this event – think outdoor (or domed) stadium atmosphere, big entrance stages, and a supersized crowd. Allegiant Stadium is a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility, and this fight will be its first boxing match of this magnitude. It’s the same weekend and city where Canelo has fought many times (the Gennadiy Golovkin fights, for example, were Vegas arena sell-outs), but moving to a stadium ups the ante. Organizers are clearly expecting high demand, and the venue choice reflects the fight’s blockbuster status.

For fans planning to attend or watch parties: local start time and details will likely be announced closer to the event. Typically, a Las Vegas main event ring-walk might happen around 8-9 PM local time (Pacific), which would be 11 PM ET. Given that September 13, 2025 is the confirmed date, you can bet Vegas will be buzzing that entire week with fight-related festivities, including a weigh-in at the stadium or nearby venue the day before. The countdown is on to September 13 at Allegiant Stadium – a date that could go down in boxing lore.
