The third edition of AEW Worlds End has been announced.

The 2025 version of AEW’s annual end-of-year pay-per-view will take place on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at the NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The news was revealed today by Tony Khan during an appearance on Q101 radio.

Khan said:

“We’ve had such a great run of AEW TV these past few weeks…we’ve had so many great pay-per-view shows here over the years. I thought it would be great for the first time ever, this holiday season, to bring AEW Worlds End to the Chicagoland area at least…I’m very excited to announce December 27th, for the first time ever, AEW Worlds End is coming to Chicago. We’re going to have a great event. It’s going to be a great way to spend the holiday weekend. Saturday, December 27th, for the first time ever, AEW Worlds End at the NOW Arena, where it all began for us.”

Presale begins on September 2, with tickets opening to the general public on September 9.

AEW is in the final days of its residency at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, with Wednesday’s Dynamite and Thursday’s Collision the last two shows scheduled.

The first edition of AEW Worlds End took place at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, and featured MJF defending the World title against Samoa Joe in the main event. In 2024, the event was held at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida, with Jon Moxley defending the title against Orange Cassidy, Hangman Page, and Jay White in a four-way.
