No, AEW is not exclusively moving to Max; rather, its programming will become available for live and on-demand streaming on the Max platform, complementing its existing television broadcasts.
Understanding AEW's New Media Rights Deal
Under a new multi-year agreement, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) will expand its reach by bringing its content to Max, while maintaining its established presence on traditional television networks. This deal represents a significant step in making AEW content more accessible to fans.
Key Aspects of the Agreement:
- Television Continuity: AEW's flagship shows, Dynamite and Collision, will continue to air on their current channels.
- AEW Dynamite: Will remain on TBS.
- AEW Collision: Will remain on TNT.
- Max Streaming Integration: For the first time since its launch in 2019, AEW programming will stream live on Max.
- Simultaneous Broadcasts: U.S. subscribers to Max will be able to watch Dynamite and Collision live at the same time they air on TBS and TNT.
- On-Demand Access: Full AEW programming will also be available for on-demand streaming on Max.
- Launch Date: This new streaming availability on Max is set to begin in January 2025.
Where to Watch AEW Programming
The following table summarizes the future availability of AEW's main shows for U.S. audiences:
| Program | Television Broadcast | Streaming Availability (U.S. - Starting Jan 2025) |
