AEW to remain available on all Max subscriber tiers

Despite some changes on what sports content will be available to Max subscribers in just over a month, AEW will remain accessible to all tiers according to a source close to the situation.

On Wednesday, it was learned that B/R Sports and CNN will no longer be available to Max’s ad-supported and least expensive tier starting on March 30th. Access to the NBA, NASCAR, the NCAA basketball tournament and other live sports will remain available for both their premium and standard tiers — a change from an initial plan to eventually offer CNN and B/R content at a $9.99/month premium.

There was some concern that since AEW programming can be found under the B/R Sports section, the ad-supported tier would lose the ability to watch it. However, that will not be the case as access to AEW content will remain unchanged.

AEW began its Max era in January 2025 as part of a new multi-year agreement with WBD that will include access to nearly all of the company’s past televised content and pay-per-views. Dynamite and Collision both simulcast live on Max in addition to its respective cable homes of TBS and TNT. At some point in 2025, fans will be able to purchase AEW PPVs at a discount.

As of late-September 2024, Max stated they had over 110 million subscribers worldwide.
