AEW and ITV in the U.K. have announced an extension of its media rights deal.

ITV, which has broadcast AEW programming since its launch in 2019, will continue airing AEW Dynamite on Friday nights and Collision each Wednesday on ITV4 and ITVX.

ITV itself is an over-the-air broadcaster that has a greater reach, although it does air Dynamite on a two-day delay. Those in the U.K. can also watch AEW programming through the AEW Plus subscription service through TrillerTV.

From the press release:

“We are thrilled to extend AEW’s partnership with ITV to continue bringing the best wrestling action to fans all across the United Kingdom,” said AEW CEO, GM and Head of Creative Tony Khan. “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, Commissioning Editor at ITV, said: “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.”

AEW is set to return to the U.K. next August with the announcement that Forbidden Door will occur in London, England but the venue has not been revealed.
