Overview
- AEW announced it will stage AEW Grand Slam: France on Oct. 6, 2026, at Paris’s Adidas Arena with tapings of Dynamite and Collision and broadcast plans on TBS and HBO Max.
- Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, Aug. 28, 2026 at 10 a.m. CEST with early-access presales for AEW Insiders and sales through AEWTix.com and LiveNation.fr.
- Adidas Arena opened in 2024 and holds roughly 8,000 spectators, which is smaller than AEW’s Grand Slam average of about 12,000 and makes attendance a key measure of local demand.
- Tony Khan said many French fans have traveled to London for AEW shows and that Paris is a logical next step, a view echoed by star Will Ospreay who praised French crowds’ passion.
- AEW will judge future dates in France on the Paris event’s attendance, live-event revenue and viewership, and strong results could prompt a wider European push and fewer fans needing to travel abroad for shows.
