# AEW All Out 2026: Quick Orientation
AEW's All Out pay-per-view takes place tonight at NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The advertised lineup covers the company's top singles and tag championships, plus a pre-show with title opportunities. If you want a concise sense of what matters before the show starts, focus on the world title match, the chaotic tag title match, and several interlinked contenders' matches.
What's on the card (advertised matches)
- Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship.
- Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) — three-way Chairs, Ladders, and Tables match for the AEW Tag Team Titles.
- Swerve Strickland, Kofi, and Austin Creed vs. Hangman Page, Bandido, and Brody King for the AEW Trios Titles.
- Kazuchika Okada vs. Tommaso Ciampa for the AEW International Championship.
- Birds (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor) vs. Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross) in a Chicago Street Fight for the AEW Women's Tag Team Titles.
- Andrade El Idolo vs. Pac for the AEW National Championship.
- Thekla vs. Willow Nightingale with the winner earning a shot at the AEW Women's Championship at WrestleDream.
- Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight to determine the No. 1 contenders for the AEW Tag Team Titles.
- Persephone opens a TBS Championship open challenge on the pre-show (noted as excluding Thunder Rosa and Hyan).
Pre-show advertised matches also include Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata and a multi-man tag involving Jay White, Ace Austin, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn vs. David Finlay, Clark Connors, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia.
Timing and viewing logistics
- Pre-show airs/streams one hour before the main card: 6 CT/7 ET.
- Main pay-per-view begins at 7 CT/8 ET.
Matches to prioritize and why
- World Title (Ospreay vs. Moxley): This is the headline match and Will Ospreay's first defended AEW World Championship at a major pay-per-view according to the advertised card.
- Tag Titles (three-way CLT): A Chairs, Ladders, and Tables stipulation with three established teams increases the chance of high-risk, multi-spot sequences and potential title changes.
- International and National title matches: Okada vs. Ciampa and Andrade vs. Pac are top-level singles matches that can shift AEW's singles division dynamics.
Pre-show notes
Persephone's open challenge for the TBS Championship is exclusive of a couple of named challengers (Thunder Rosa and Hyan). The pre-show also features Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata, which carries its own interest given Shibata's reputation.
How this card connects to upcoming shows
The Thekla vs. Willow winner gets a shot at the AEW Women's Championship at WrestleDream, so that match directly affects WrestleDream planning. The No. 1 contender tag match and Persephone's open challenge could set up title matches in the weeks after All Out.
Practical viewing tips
- If you're short on time, tune in for the main card start (7 CT/8 ET) and prioritize the World Title main event and the Tag Title three-way CLT match.
- If you want the full context for WrestleDream implications and open challenges, watch the pre-show hour starting at 6 CT/7 ET.
Tonight's advertised line-up gives a clear signal about AEW's immediate plans across multiple divisions. The card combines established champions, high-profile challengers, and stipulations that typically produce headline moments.
