AEW extend deal for ITV Sport coverage

All Elite Wrestling and ITV have agreed to an extension of their existing UK rights deal…

ITV will continue to show weekly episodes of AEW programming, with AEW Dynamite every Friday night and AEW Collision every Wednesday night on ITV4 and ITVX. The renewal for 2025 takes ITV into its sixth year as AEW’s free-to-air UK partner, first broadcasting AEW Dynamite in 2019.

AEW CEO, GM and Head of Creative Tony Khan:

“We are thrilled to extend AEW’s partnership with ITV to continue bringing the best wrestling action to fans all across the United Kingdom. We thank all of our incredible fans in the UK as well as everyone at ITV for their loyal support of AEW since our inception.”

Founded by Tony Khan in 2019, AEW is offering an alternative to mainstream wrestling, with a roster of world-class talent that is injecting new spirit, freshness and energy into the industry.

Programmes include AEW: Dynamite, AEW: Rampage and AEW: Collision. AEW’s multi-platform content also includes Being the Elite, a weekly behind-the-scenes YouTube series, and AEW Unrestricted, a weekly podcast series.

Richard Botchway, Commissioning Editor at ITV:

“We are proud to continue to be the UK free-to-air broadcast partner for AEW. We’re looking forward to continuing our relationship into 2025, bringing the UK audience every minute of action across ITV and ITVX.”
