AEW New Year’s Smash is heading to Atlanta for a two-night run. AEW Dynamite: New Year’s Smash airs live on Friday, January 1, 2027, and AEW Collision: New Year’s Smash follows live on Saturday, January 2, both from Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. Start times haven’t been announced.
The doubleheader moves Dynamite to a Friday night, away from its usual Wednesday slot. It also brings AEW back to the building that hosted Winter Is Coming Dynamite in December 2025, where Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale were crowned the first AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions.
New Year’s Smash has been an annual AEW holiday special since January 2021. The announcement for the Atlanta shows doesn’t include any matches or talent yet.
