Night of Champions (2009) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which took place on July 26, 2009 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the third annual event under the Night of Champions name and the ninth annual event under the Vengeance/Night of Champions chronology. Similar to the previous two events, the concept of the show was that every championship in the company would be defended. It featured talent from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. Eight matches were contested on the card.
This show was considered a supercard, which featured more than one main event match. The main event matches featured were: Jeff Hardy defeating CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, Randy Orton retaining the WWE Championship against Triple H and John Cena, Mickie James winning the WWE Divas Championship against Maryse, and WWE Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio retain his title against Dolph Ziggler. The undercard, the remaining matches on the card, featured Chris Jericho and The Big Show defending the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship against The Legacy, Tommy Dreamer versus Christian for the ECW Championship, a Six-Pack Challenge featuring WWE United States Champion Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, Carlito, Primo, Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP), and The Miz, and Michelle McCool wrestling Melina for the WWE Women's Championship.
