AEW Secures Fox Sports Mexico TV Deal, Filling WWE’s Void

One big thing

AEW has signed a long-term TV rights agreement with Fox Sports Mexico, marking its first major international broadcast deal outside the United States.

The details

• The deal includes “Dynamite,” “Rampage,” “Collision,” and all AEW pay-per-views
• A new program called “All Elite Show” will air on Monday nights
• The partnership kicks off this Saturday with AEW WrestleDream

Why it matters

This agreement fills the void left by WWE’s departure from Fox Sports Mexico, as WWE transitions its international programming to Netflix in 2025. It provides AEW with a significant platform to expand its audience in the lucrative Mexican market.

By the numbers

• Fox Sports Mexico has been WWE’s home in Mexico since 2014
• The deal comes as AEW’s new U.S. TV rights agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery is set to begin in January 2025

What they’re saying

Fox Sports Mexico announced on X: “We’re getting in the ring with AEW! FOX Sports México acquires the broadcast rights of All Elite Wrestling, one of the most spectacular professional wrestling brands in the world.

The big picture

This deal represents a strategic move for AEW to expand its global footprint and capitalize on the passionate wrestling fanbase in Mexico. It also fuels speculation about potential future international deals for the company.

What’s next

While the start date for regular AEW programming on Fox Sports Mexico is yet to be announced, fans can expect more details in the coming weeks. The success of this venture could pave the way for similar deals in other international markets.
