All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) have revealed a major expansion of their partnership that will bring AEW's pay-per-view events to the HBO Max streaming service. The new deal officially kicks off with AEW All Out, which will stream live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday, September 20, at 3 p.m. ET.
Under the new agreement, all marketing and promotion for AEW pay-per-views will be centered on HBO Max. U.S. subscribers to the platform will be able to purchase the live, ad-free events for an exclusive price of $39.99. Pre-orders for AEW All Out will begin this Friday, September 5. The events will be available in high-dynamic range (HDR10) and Dolby Atmos sound, offering an immersive viewing experience. Following the live broadcast, purchasers will have exclusive access to replays for six months.
To support the launch, WBD will air special lead-in programming. On Saturday, September 20, at 2 p.m. ET, a one-hour live pre-show titled AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: All Out will air on both TNT and HBO Max. Additionally, on Wednesday, September 17, a special three-hour event, September to Remember, will air live from London, Ontario, on TBS and HBO Max at 8 p.m. ET, setting the final stage for the pay-per-view.
This move significantly broadens the AEW content library available on HBO Max. Subscribers now have access to hundreds of hours of programming, including live simulcasts and on-demand replays of weekly shows AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision. The library also features all AEW pay-per-view events through the end of 2024 and the first two years of AEW Dynamite episodes.
The expanded partnership is fueled by AEW's strong performance across WBD networks. So far this year, AEW programming has reached over 11 million fans across TBS and TNT. AEW Dynamite consistently ranks as the #1 cable entertainment program on Wednesdays among the key P18-49 demographic, while AEW Collision is a top 5 program in its Saturday time slot.
The companies highlighted recent successes, including the April 26 episode of Collision being the show's third most-watched ever, and the AEW Grand Slam Mexico edition of Dynamite on June 18 delivering the highest viewership among P25-54 in nearly a year.
