April 5, 2023 – During tonight’s live episode of “AEW: Dynamite” from Long Island, NY, AEW
CEO Tony Khan, star Adam Cole and host Nigel McGuinness announced that AEW’s highly
anticipated UK debut will take place in London at the iconic Wembley Stadium on Sunday,
August 27. “AEW: All In London at Wembley Stadium” marks AEW’s first show outside of North
America, and the first time that professional wrestling has taken center stage at Wembley
Stadium in more than 30 years.
Tickets for “AEW: All In London at Wembley Stadium” go on sale to the general public Monday,
May 5 at 9 a.m. BST. Effective immediately, fans in the UK can pre-register for early access to
event tickets at ticketmaster.co.uk/AEWWembley. Pre-registered access and priority presales
will take place prior to the general on-sale date. Beginning May 5, tickets can be purchased at
ticketmaster.co.uk/AEWWembley.
“The UK is one of the most important markets in professional wrestling, and AEW is coming in
hot as the number one wrestling company in the UK on television,” said Tony Khan. “We want
our debut in London to be epic in scale, and there’s no better venue than Wembley Stadium to
deliver what I know will be one of the greatest events in AEW’s history. This April also marks
100 years of Warner Bros. and 100 years of Wembley Stadium – it’s a fitting time to come
together for ‘AEW: All In London at Wembley Stadium.’”
This announcement comes on the heels of AEW’s tremendous growth in TV viewership in
the UK, with AEW programming serving as the highest ratings driver for men ages 16-34 on
ITV4 since the start of 2022. AEW reached 2.8 million men on ITV platforms in 2022 and
began 2023 by increasing that reach by another 45 percent among men ages 16-34.
“AEW: All In London at Wembley Stadium” is far from the Khan Family’s first foray into London
or the legendary venue. Shahid Khan is Chairman of Fulham Football Club, which earned
promotion to the English Premier League with playoff wins at Wembley Stadium in both 2018
and 2020.
The elder Khan is also owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have regularly hosted a home
game at the stadium since 2013 and will return once again during the 2023 National Football
League season for a ninth game at Wembley.
“AEW: All In London at Wembley Stadium,” which will be a homecoming for several top stars
including AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter, Saraya, Nigel McGuinness, Pac,
Anthony Ogogo and more, will be produced in conjunction with Live Nation Entertainment.
