Jim Ross confirms that AEW will have a UK TV deal in the next 365 days.
Since AEW began in 2019, the question has been when will they move over to the UK market with live events and a tv deal. As of this writing, UK fans must pay for Fite to watch weekly AEW content as well as their PPVs.
Jim Ross took to his podcast Grillin JR to explain that AEW are currently working on their UK TV deal.
“AEW is definitely coming to the UK and it will be in the next calendar year. I know that for a fact. I don’t know the dates, but we’re all excited about that because we get great television ratings in the UK.”

Time will tell who AEW will decide to go with as the host of their UK content, but Sky Sports were recently freed of wrestling programming as the WWE chose to sign with BT Sport in the UK recently.
