Major League Wrestling has secured a significant new distribution deal, with MLW Fusion officially joining Tubi as a free weekly wrestling series.
The agreement puts MLW’s flagship program on one of the largest free streaming platforms in the United States. New episodes of MLW Fusion are scheduled to stream every Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, giving the promotion a substantially wider potential audience without requiring fans to pay for a subscription.
MLW Fusion is now streaming free on Tubi
The deal was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter on September 17. Tubi’s own listing for MLW Fusion also confirms the series on the platform.
For MLW, the move is more than another streaming outlet. Tubi has grown into a major free ad-supported streaming service, and MLW founder Court Bauer has positioned accessibility as a central part of the promotion’s strategy.
Fusion returned as a weekly series earlier in 2026 and has also been available through platforms including Veeps and NJPW World. The Tubi agreement, however, places the show in front of a much broader mainstream streaming audience.
A deal years in the making
There is also considerable history behind MLW finally arriving on Tubi.
MLW had previously been in discussions for a Tubi distribution agreement several years ago. Those plans later became part of MLW’s antitrust lawsuit against WWE, in which MLW alleged WWE interfered with potential media agreements involving Tubi and Vice TV.
WWE and MLW eventually settled the case. TKO later disclosed a $20 million settlement payment connected to the litigation.
That history makes the new agreement particularly notable: the platform that once sat at the centre of one of wrestling’s most significant modern antitrust disputes is now officially carrying MLW programming.
Why the Tubi deal matters for MLW
Distribution has long been one of the biggest challenges for wrestling promotions outside WWE and AEW. Producing a strong weekly show only matters if fans can easily find it.
Tubi removes much of that friction. The service is free, widely available and does not require the same paid subscription commitment as many wrestling streaming platforms.
That gives MLW an opportunity to reach casual wrestling viewers who may never have actively searched for Fusion elsewhere.
The timing is also important as competition for wrestling audiences continues across television and streaming. WWE has expanded its global streaming footprint, AEW remains a major presence across traditional television and streaming, while TNA and other promotions continue to pursue broader distribution.
MLW now has a straightforward pitch of its own: a weekly wrestling show available free through a major streaming platform.
When does MLW Fusion air on Tubi?
New episodes of MLW Fusion stream Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Tubi. The promotion is expected to continue producing live special events alongside the weekly Fusion series.
For MLW, landing Tubi could prove to be one of its most important distribution moves in years. The next test is whether the increased reach translates into a larger regular audience for Fusion.
