AEW Launches MyAEW Streaming Platform

AEW has officially introduced its new streaming platform, MyAEW, marking a major step in the company’s digital strategy after more than six years in operation.

The new service will include a FAST channel, which stands for free ad-supported streaming television. The platform is being launched through a partnership with streaming technology company Kiswe. The move could signal a shift away from AEW’s current streaming relationship with Triller, which has served as an international distribution partner for several years.

AEW CEO Tony Khan confirmed the partnership while announcing the new platform.

“We are excited to partner with Kiswe for the launch of the new MyAEW platform,” Khan said. “Kiswe has set the standard for digital content across all forms of sports and entertainment, and we are proud to have AEW alongside other leaders in this space as we continue to evolve the platform and best serve fans around the world.”

Kiswe CEO Glenn Booth also commented on the collaboration and explained the goal behind the new service.

“AEW has an incredible vision for the future of their fan experience, and Kiswe is proud to be the technology partner powering it,” Booth said. “MyAEW was built to become the central hub for the AEW community, directly connecting one of the most passionate fanbases in sports and entertainment to the content they love by giving them unprecedented access to the ring and beyond.”

MyAEW is scheduled to officially launch before the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event. Fans can already visit the platform’s website and create an account ahead of the rollout.

The service will have a significant impact for international viewers. Fans outside the United States and Canada will now have access to both AEW and Ring of Honor programming in one location.

Three subscription options are currently available. The first is a $7.99 monthly plan that includes AEW Dynamite, AEW Collision, ROH TV, special events, and access to the content archive. A second tier priced at $19.99 per month will also include the AEW pay-per-view event scheduled for that month. A yearly option priced at $119.99 will give subscribers access to all AEW pay-per-views throughout the year.

The launch of MyAEW provides an immediate alternative to Triller, which has faced financial difficulties in recent years. Triller currently distributes AEW content internationally through the AEW Plus service, which costs $7.99 per month and offers a 20 percent discount on pay-per-view events.

It remains unclear whether the FAST channel will expand to other streaming platforms such as Pluto TV, Tubi, Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, or Xumo Play. Warner Bros. Discovery has launched multiple FAST channels on those platforms but has not yet done so with AEW programming.

Industry observers have also noted that Pluto TV is owned by Paramount Skydance, which could become a future domestic rights holder for AEW depending on the outcome of the planned Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.
