Arena México (Lucha Libre)
Arena México
The “cathedral” of Mexican masked wrestling, where masked grapplers fly through the air in fierce bouts, with a roaring atmosphere.
This is the home arena of the CMLL wrestling promotion, with a capacity of about 16,000, and the top choice for experiencing Mexico's Lucha Libre culture. Masked wrestlers are divided into técnicos (good guys) and rudos (villains). High-flying dives and dramatic performances send the crowd wild, and fans cheer passionately. Tickets can be bought at the official box office or online, with prices ranging from cheap upper-level seats to ringside. Vendors outside sell wrestling masks as souvenirs. The arena is in the Doctores district, and the surrounding area is average at night, so take a taxi both ways or join a viewing tour that includes transfers.
Opening hours
Match days: Tuesday 19:30, Friday 20:30, Sunday around 17:00
