In a significant development for professional wrestling fans, All Elite Wrestling and its broadcast partner Warner Bros. Discovery have taken their successful relationship to the next level. This latest announcement solidifies the promotion’s integral place within the WBD family of brands, reshaping how fans will watch the company’s biggest shows going forward.

The landmark agreement confirms that AEW‘s popular pay-per-view events will now be available to stream live in the United States directly on HBO Max. This exciting new era for viewers will kick off with the highly anticipated All Out event.

A New Era for AEW Pay-Per-Views

The first event to stream under this new arrangement will be AEW All Out, broadcasting live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday, September 20.

In a significant benefit for existing subscribers, the event will be offered at an exclusive, discounted price of $39.99 for those who subscribe to HBO Max. This provides a ten-dollar savings compared to the standard $49.99 price on other platforms. Pre-orders for All Out are set to begin this Friday, September 5.

Enhanced Viewing and Special Content

This new deal promises an enhanced viewing experience for the AEW faithful. The pay-per-views on HBO Max will be presented in high-quality HDR10 and will feature immersive Dolby Atmos sound, bringing the in-arena atmosphere directly to viewers at home. Following the live broadcast, fans who purchased the event will have exclusive access to replays for six months.

To build excitement for the inaugural HBO Max broadcast, special programming is scheduled. A one-hour live pre-show, AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: All Out, will air on both TNT and HBO Max at 2 p.m. ET leading into the main card. Additionally, a special three-hour event titled September to Remember will air live from London, Ontario, on Wednesday, September 17, on TBS and HBO Max, setting the final stage for the big event.

What This Means for Fans

This move deepens the already strong relationship between AEW and its broadcast partner, Warner Bros. Discovery. It consolidates AEW‘s premium content onto a single platform, as its weekly flagship shows, Dynamite and Collision, already simulcast live on HBO Max. For fans in the United States, this creates a more centralized and cost-effective way to enjoy all of AEW‘s action.
