AEW and ITV announce extension of their agreement with British television

Heading into the new year, AEW has reached a deal to extend its television contract in the UK.

It was announced today that AEW and ITV have extended their existing media rights agreement for 2025. ITV has been AEW’s broadcast partner in the UK since the promotion’s launch in 2019, and Dynamite and Collision will continue to broadcast on delay on ITV4 and ITVX.

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

In the press release, Tony Khan was quoted as saying: “We are delighted to extend AEW’s partnership with ITV to continue to bring the best wrestling action to fans across the UK. 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.

Richard Botchway, Editor-in-Chief at ITV, added: “We are proud to continue to be the UK’s free-to-air broadcast partner for AEW. We look forward to continuing our relationship into 2025, bringing British audiences every minute of action on ITV and ITVX.”

Although ITV is AEW’s free-to-air streaming partner in the country, UK viewers can watch Dynamite and Collision live if they subscribe to Triller’s AEW Plus service.

The first AEW TV episode of 2025 will be a special Fight for the Fallen edition of Dynamite from Asheville, North Carolina on New Year’s Day. In the United States, this will be the first AEW show simulcast live on Max in addition to its regular broadcast on TBS.
