AEW has officially confirmed that WrestleDream 2026 will take place on Saturday, October 17, at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida. General public ticket sales begin Monday, August 10.
This marks the third time AEW has brought a pay-per-view to Orlando, following Revolution in March 2022 and Worlds End in December 2024, both held at the same venue on the University of Central Florida campus.
WrestleDream debuted in 2023 as a tribute to Antonio Inoki, the New Japan Pro-Wrestling founder who died in October 2022. The 2026 show will be the fourth annual running of the event, following previous stops in Seattle, Tacoma, and St. Louis.
AEW President Tony Khan touched on Florida’s history with the promotion and revisited the origins of the WrestleDream concept following the announcement, according to the Orlando Sentinel, which first reported the venue and date.
AEW’s Fall Pay-Per-View Picture
WrestleDream lands in the middle of a stacked AEW fall schedule. The promotion returns to Wembley Stadium for All In on August 30, followed by All Out at Chicago’s NOW Arena on September 26 ahead of the trip to Orlando in October.
AEW used a similar early rollout for its Double or Nothing 2026 announcement back in February, confirming host cities and venues well ahead of each show.
