AEW President Tony Khan officially announced today that Worlds End will take place at the NOW Arena in Chicago on December 27, 2025, providing fans with another major pay-per-view destination for the holiday season.
The announcement completes nearly the entire AEW pay-per-view schedule for 2025, with only Full Gear in November remaining without a confirmed venue. The complete lineup now includes:
- August 24 - Forbidden Door - London, England
- September 20 - All Out - Toronto, Canada
- October 18 - WrestleDream - St. Louis, Missouri
- December 27 - Worlds End - Chicago, Illinois
Chicago represents a significant market for AEW, with the NOW Arena providing an intimate venue for the year-end spectacular. The December 27 date positions Worlds End as a major holiday week attraction for wrestling fans.
With this announcement, AEW continues building momentum for its 2025 pay-per-view schedule, featuring a mix of international and domestic venues. Full Gear remains the only event without a confirmed location, leaving fans to speculate about November\'s destination.
