AEW Among Top-Streamed Live Sports Events on Max – A new report sheds light on AEW’s performance on Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) streaming platform, Max, following the company’s expanded media rights deal. AEW began simulcasting its flagship programs, AEW Dynamite and Collision, on Max earlier this month, starting with the Fight for the Fallen special on January 1 and Collision on January 4. While specific viewership figures for these simulcasts remain unavailable, early indicators suggest promising results.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, WBD sources have confirmed that AEW has been ranking among the top live sports events streaming on Max since its debut. Though official viewership numbers are tightly controlled and not publicly disclosed, this performance places AEW alongside other major live sports content available on the platform, such as MLB, NHL, NBA, NCAA Men’s March Madness, and U.S. Soccer.
AEW’s presence on Max is part of the company’s media rights deal with WBD, which was signed in October 2024 and is valued at over $185 million annually. The deal includes expanded programming and simulcasting on Max, positioning AEW as a significant part of WBD’s sports and entertainment offerings.
The move to Max highlights AEW’s ongoing efforts to expand its reach and provide additional viewing options for fans, particularly those who prefer streaming platforms. As the partnership between AEW and WBD continues, it will be interesting to see how the availability of AEW programming on Max impacts its overall viewership and engagement.
