AEW’s flagship programming has posted measurable viewership growth in the United States through 2026 so far, even as the promotion’s audience in the United Kingdom has reportedly declined, according to backstage reporting from Rajah.
AEW Dynamite has averaged 660,000 viewers in the U.S. in 2026 to date, up from 613,000 viewers over the same period in 2025. That increase extends to AEW Collision as well, which has been averaging 400,000 viewers in 2026 compared to 363,000 at the same point in 2025. Collision’s current average also tops the 395,000 viewers it drew over the equivalent stretch in 2024, suggesting the Saturday night show has built momentum across multiple years rather than experiencing a single-year bump.
The U.S. growth comes even as AEW’s U.K. viewership has reportedly trended downward over the same window, based on the backstage information relayed by Rajah. The report does not specify exact U.K. viewership figures or identify which AEW programming carried in the United Kingdom has been affected, nor does it detail a specific cause for the decline. Without those figures, it is not possible to quantify the size of the U.K. drop or compare it directly against the percentage gains seen domestically.
Taken together, the figures paint a picture of a promotion whose core U.S. television product, built around Dynamite and Collision, continues to grow its audience even as its international footprint shows signs of softening in at least one key market. Weekly viewership numbers for Dynamite and Collision function as an ongoing barometer for AEW, factoring into television rights conversations and the promotion’s standing relative to WWE programming in head-to-head ratings comparisons. Sustained U.S. growth across both shows, paired with reported softness abroad, is the kind of split trend networks and rights holders typically watch closely when evaluating a promotion’s overall trajectory heading into future negotiations.
AEW has not issued its own public breakdown of U.K. viewership to confirm or add detail to the reported decline, and no further specifics were available at the time of this report.
