WEMBLEY STADIUM
AEW at Wembley Stadium 2026
When AEW descended on Wembley Stadium in August 2023, they shattered wrestling's UK attendance record with 72,265 fans in attendance. The 2024 follow-up saw CM Punk vs Swerve Strickland headline an equally iconic night. Now, 2026 beckons — and the question of whether AEW can make Wembley a permanent summer pilgrimage is one of the most exciting stories in wrestling.
AEW at Wembley: The Full Story
🏟️
All In 2023 — The Record Breaker
The original All In at Wembley Stadium on August 27, 2023 was a watershed moment for professional wrestling. An announced crowd of 72,265 set a new UK wrestling attendance record. CM Punk returned to an earth-shaking reception, MJF defended the AEW World Championship in the main event, and the British wrestling scene demonstrated to the entire world just how hungry UK fans are for this product. The event trended globally and remains one of the most talked-about nights in AEW history.

All In 2024 — The Swerve Moment
The 2024 return to Wembley put Swerve Strickland — AEW's first Black world champion — at the top of the card against CM Punk in a match that lived up to its enormous hype. The second Wembley event proved the 2023 show was no fluke. UK fans adopted AEW as their own, providing the kind of crowd atmosphere that even WWE's premium live events struggle to match. Wembley has become as important to AEW's identity as Staples Center was to WCW or MSG to WWE.

2026 Potential Card
AEW's 2026 Wembley event — whether branded All In or another name — will aim to build on the traditions established in 2023 and 2024. The AEW World Championship match will headline, with the title picture in summer 2026 determining who carries the top of that card. British stars like Will Ospreay and Samoa Joe figure prominently into any UK show booking, while the women's division has evolved dramatically since 2023 — Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, and Britt Baker all bring enormous name value to a London crowd.
