Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) have announced a new media rights agreement that will make AEW’s programming available across more platforms. Beginning January 1, 2025, AEW content will expand to include streaming on the Max platform in addition to traditional TV broadcasts.
Key Highlights of the New Agreement
Continued Broadcasts on TBS and TNT
AEW Dynamite will remain on Wednesdays on TBS, while AEW Collision stays on Saturdays on TNT.
Streaming on Max
U.S. subscribers of Max will, for the first time, have the option to stream Dynamite and Collision live, with episodes available on-demand after their initial broadcast.
Content Library Expansion
Max will add AEW’s content library, including episodes of Dynamite, Collision, Rampage, and pay-per-view events from 2019 through 2024. The rollout will include highlights such as Dynamite’s inaugural year and the most recent two months of programming.
Special New Year’s Events to Launch the Partnership
- AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen: Premiering on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET, this special event will air live on TBS and Max from Asheville, NC. Proceeds will support Hurricane Helene relief efforts in the region.
- AEW Collision: The first Saturday broadcast under the new deal will air live on January 4, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET from Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, NC, on TNT and Max.
Pay-Per-View Integration on Max
Starting later in 2025, AEW pay-per-view events will also become available on Max. Additional details, including pricing, will be announced closer to the launch.
This agreement is a significant move to increase AEW’s accessibility and integrate its content into Max’s slate of live sports and entertainment programming.
