Saturday, September 26, 2026 — NOW Arena, Hoffman Estates, Illinois
Main card: 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT
AEW returns to the Chicago area for All Out 2026, with a championship-heavy card headlined by AEW World Champion Will Ospreay defending against Jon Moxley. The event takes place at the NOW Arena on Saturday night.
AEW World Championship
Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley
This is the centerpiece of All Out.
Ospreay captured the AEW World Championship at All In London and now faces one of AEW’s most experienced main-event wrestlers. Moxley has spent the weeks leading into the match emphasizing what winning the championship would mean, while Ospreay has been trying to establish himself as the company’s champion.
Their final confrontation came on the September 23 Dynamite/Collision special, just three days before the pay-per-view.
Key question: Can Ospreay’s speed and athleticism overcome Moxley’s physical style and experience in championship matches?
AEW World Tag Team Championship
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. FTR vs. The Young Bucks
The World Tag Team Championship will be contested in a three-way match featuring tables, ladders and chairs.
Copeland and Christian Cage bring decades of tag-team history into the match, while FTR and The Young Bucks add two of the most decorated modern tag teams to the equation.
With weapons and multiple teams involved, this could quickly become one of the night’s most chaotic matches.
AEW International Championship
Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Tommaso Ciampa
Okada puts the International Championship on the line against Ciampa.
The rivalry intensified after Ciampa confronted Okada and attacked him, leading to the championship match being made official.
This is a particularly intriguing clash of styles: Okada’s methodical championship wrestling against Ciampa’s physical, aggressive approach.
AEW Trios Championship
Swerve Strickland, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods vs. Hangman Adam Page, Bandido & Brody King
The Trios Championship is also on the line.
The title picture was finalized after Swerve Strickland and The New Level retained the championship on the final Dynamite before All Out. Hangman Page, Bandido and Brody King had already earned their championship opportunity.
This matchup has plenty of star power and several potential collision points, particularly between Swerve and Hangman.
AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship
Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor vs. Megan Bayne & Lena Kross
Chicago Street Fight
The Women’s Tag Team Championship moves into a Chicago Street Fight, meaning the normal rules of a championship match give way to a weapons-heavy environment.
Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor will have to deal with the physically imposing team of Megan Bayne and Lena Kross.
AEW National Championship
Andrade El Ídolo (c) vs. PAC
Andrade successfully defended the National Championship against Daniel Garcia on Collision, but PAC attacked him afterward and demanded a championship match.
AEW subsequently made Andrade-PAC official for All Out.
This could be one of the night’s most technically competitive singles matches.
Women’s World Championship Opportunity
Thekla vs. Willow Nightingale
Thekla and Willow Nightingale will fight for a future shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship at WrestleDream.
The match adds another important women’s division storyline to an already championship-heavy card.
AEW Tag Team No. 1 Contenders
Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight
The winners become the next challengers for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Darby Allin and Steven Borden face the Don Callis Family combination of Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight. Callis has been looking to position his team for more championship opportunities, while Allin and Borden have emerged as an unlikely partnership.
Pre-Show
Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata
A hard-hitting singles match featuring Jack Perry and former ROH World Champion Katsuyori Shibata.
Bang Bang Gang vs. The Dogs/Death Riders
Jay White, Ace Austin, Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn face David Finlay, Clark Connors, Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia.
The rivalry escalated into a brawl on Collision, with the two groups now set for a pre-show confrontation.
Three Major Storylines
1. Ospreay’s first major title defense
Ospreay’s championship reign faces its biggest test against Moxley. The match gives the new champion an opportunity to establish himself in a major singles main event.
2. The tag-team championship picture
The three-way World Tag Team Championship match combines Copeland & Christian, FTR and The Young Bucks, while another match determines the next challengers.
3. Chicago gets a loaded AEW card
All Out returns to the Chicago area for the first time in 2026, with the NOW Arena hosting the event. AEW lists the event at 8 p.m. ET, while doors open at the arena at 5 p.m. local time.
All Out Main Event
Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley — AEW World Championship
The world title match is the night’s central attraction, but with multiple championships and stipulation matches throughout the card, All Out 2026 is set up as a major night for AEW’s title picture.
