How to Watch AEW in the US: Dynamite, Collision and Pay-Per-Views

Here is how to watch AEW in the US: Dynamite airs Wednesdays on TBS, Collision airs Saturdays on TNT, both stream live on HBO Max, and the pay-per-views are bought per event — cheapest inside HBO Max.

That is the whole map; the rest of this page is prices and the details that trip people up.

AEW is the simplest promotion to follow without cable, because one streaming subscription carries both weekly shows live.

It is also the only major promotion whose big events are still true pay-per-views, so the monthly cost swings a lot in PPV months.

Last checked: September 2026.

Every AEW show, where it airs and what it costs

Upcoming pay-per-views: All Out — Saturday, September 26, Chicago; WrestleDream — Saturday, October 17; Full Gear — Saturday, November 14, Phoenix. Start times are usually 8 PM ET with a free pre-show on TNT and HBO Max an hour before; some events start in the afternoon, so check the listing the week of.

What to pay for, by the kind of fan you are

Weekly shows only. HBO Max.

It simulcasts Dynamite and Collision live and keeps every episode on demand, so you do not need TBS or TNT at all.

If you already have cable, you already have both shows and HBO Max only adds the replays.

Weekly shows plus every pay-per-view. HBO Max, then buy each PPV inside the app at the subscriber price.

Ten or so events a year at around $40 each is the real cost of being an AEW completionist — more than the subscription itself.

Only the big ones. Skip the monthly subscription.

Buy the two or three PPVs you care about on Prime Video, YouTube or PPV.com at the standard price, and catch weekly highlights on AEW's YouTube channel.

Cable household. TBS and TNT are in almost every package, so the weekly shows are already covered. PPVs can be ordered through the cable box or bought on HBO Max, which is cheaper.

The services, one by one

HBO Max — the all-in-one option. Both weekly shows live, full library on demand, pay-per-views sold inside the app with a subscriber discount and a six-month replay window for buyers.

The entry plan carries ads on some live content; check the plan details if that matters to you.

How to watch Dynamite or Collision on HBO Max:

1. Open HBO Max on Wednesday or Saturday before 8 PM ET.
2. Search "AEW" or open the AEW hub.
3. Select the live episode marked "Live."
4. Use the same title afterward for the replay.
5. For a PPV, open the event page, choose "Watch for [price]," and it appears under My Purchases.

Honest note: the PPV is not included in the subscription. HBO Max makes it cheaper, not free.

TBS and TNT — the cable route. Dynamite on TBS, Collision on TNT. No standalone way to buy either channel; you need cable or a live TV streaming service that carries them (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, DirecTV Stream, Fubo depending on package). PPVs can be ordered as traditional pay-per-view through cable and satellite providers.

How to watch without cable, without HBO Max:

1. Confirm a live TV service lists TBS and TNT in your zip code.
2. Subscribe and open the channel guide.
3. Find TBS Wednesday or TNT Saturday at 8 PM ET.
4. Stream on the service's app.
5. Cancel before renewal if you only wanted a specific week.

Honest note: a live TV bundle costs several times what HBO Max does and gives you no AEW replays.

It only makes sense if you need those bundles for other channels — SmackDown on USA, for instance.

Prime Video, YouTube, PPV.com, MyAEW — pay-per-view only. These sell the events at the standard price, typically about $10 more than HBO Max's subscriber price.

Useful if you refuse a monthly subscription and want one event. Replays for buyers vary by platform.

Ring of Honor — HonorClub. ROH, AEW's sister promotion, streams its weekly show and events on its own HonorClub service.

Separate subscription; it is not on HBO Max or TNT.

The honest part: the pay-per-view math

AEW is the one major promotion that still charges per event. WWE moved to a monthly tier; AEW did not.

That makes AEW cheaper for a casual fan (subscribe to HBO Max, buy nothing) and more expensive for a completionist (HBO Max plus roughly ten PPVs a year, which adds up to several hundred dollars annually).

There is no bundle that includes the PPVs, no annual pass, and no free stream of the main card.

The pre-shows are free on TNT and HBO Max; the main card is not.

Before you buy

• Buy the PPV on HBO Max if you subscribe — it is the lowest price available.
• PPV prices vary by event; the price shows on the event page before you pay.
• Buyers on HBO Max keep replay access for about six months; other platforms differ.
• Dynamite and Collision times are ET; West Coast is 5 PM on the clock.
• Special episodes sometimes move nights or run three hours; the HBO Max listing is the reliable source.
• Some PPVs start in the afternoon ET when held on the West Coast or abroad.
• HBO Max's entry plan may show ads on live content; the weekly shows are still live there.
• Cable PPV ordering usually costs the standard price, not the HBO Max discount.

What it costs per month

Approximate US pricing, September 2026:

• HBO Max: plans start around $11 a month — that covers both weekly shows.
• Pay-per-views: about $40 each on HBO Max for subscribers, about $50 on other platforms; roughly one per month.
• TBS/TNT via a live TV service: $70–90 a month if you go that route instead.
• HonorClub (ROH): separate, around $10.

Weekly shows only: around $11. Weekly shows plus every PPV: around $50 in a PPV month.

Cable household adding HBO Max for replays and cheaper PPVs: around $11 extra.
