AEW will bring Worlds End to Minneapolis for the first time on December 19, with its Holiday Bash television tapings following four days later in Chicago.
The Target Center announced late on Saturday that it will host the fourth annual Worlds End pay-per-view. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on Monday, October 5.
JUST ANNOUNCED! All Elite Wrestling is bringing Worlds End to the Twin Cities for the FIRST TIME EVER!
This marks the fourth annual Worlds End PPV, emanating LIVE! from Target Center on Saturday, December 19th. Tickets go on sale Monday October 5th.
AEW has since added the event to its schedule, along with a December 23 Dynamite and Collision taping at Wintrust Arena in Chicago under the Holiday Bash banner. The company’s events calendar lists tickets for Holiday Bash as going on sale October 12.
Worlds End debuted in December 2023 and has served as the destination for the Continental Classic finals in each of its first three years.
Eddie Kingston defeated Jon Moxley in the inaugural tournament final at the 2023 event on Long Island, becoming the first AEW Continental Champion.
This year’s December 19 date is earlier than the previous three Worlds End events, which all took place during the final week of the calendar year.
Holiday Bash, meanwhile, has been part of AEW’s Christmas programming since 2020, when the inaugural edition aired as a special episode of Dynamite from Daily’s Place.
Last year’s Holiday Bash was taped at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, and encompassed Dynamite and Collision. Several Continental Classic league matches took place across the broadcasts.
The 2026 edition will mark a return to the United States and will take place after Worlds End rather than during the tournament’s build toward the pay-per-view.
