AEW announces Latin America & Caribbean streaming deal
AEW has announced a streaming deal, but not the one North American fans have been waiting for.
The company has signed a multi-year deal with TelevisaUnivision to bring AEW’s weekly TV programming and other content to the premium tier of the ViX streaming service, available throughout Mexico and some Latin America and Caribbean countries.
ViX is described as “the first large-scale streaming service to exclusively serve the Spanish-speaking world.”
Starting Wednesday, Dynamite, Rampage and Collision will all stream live on the service at the same time they air in North America. The press release did not specifically indicate if those would be with Spanish language commentary.
The deal also includes the quarterly Battle of the Belts series and pay-per-views 30 days after they initially happen. Additionally, all episodes of AEW Dark and AEW Dark Elevation are available with Spanish language commentary.
The press release did not indicate whether subscribers will have access to past episodes of Dynamite, Rampage and Collision.
