AEW Dynamite viewership up on Thanksgiving eve
The November 26 Thanksgiving eve episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 512,000 viewers on TBS, up 4.3 percent from the previous week. This marks the second-highest audience total for the show since October 15.
In the 18-49 demo, Dynamite drew a 0.10 rating. That matches what Dynamite did the prior week and also ties the second-highest rating the show has done in that category since the October 15 episode.
The show finished sixth for the night in the prime time 18-49 cable charts. It went head-to-head with the NBA on ESPN which averaged 2.43 million viewers and topped the charts with a 0.71 rating in the key demo.
As compared to the same week in 2024 (using the old Nielsen panel-only reporting method), Dynamite’s overall viewership was down 4.5 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 33.3 percent. This year’s numbers do not include the HBO Max simulcast, so the total viewership at least was almost certainly higher this year.
Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership numbers and 18-49 demo ratings for Dynamite, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s episode was down 0.6 percent in viewers and 9.1 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
Note: Beginning on October 1, Nielsen switched to its new Big Data + Panel reporting method that has, for the most part, resulted in a severe decline in wrestling ratings, particularly in the 18-49 demo.
