AEW reveals date for Grand Slam Mexico 2026
AEW is officially heading back to Mexico City this summer for a special episode of Dynamite.
It was confirmed today that AEW Grand Slam Mexico 2026 will take place live from Arena Mexico on Wednesday, August 5. The announcement was made by Fox Sports MX, which is airing the event in Mexico. The show will be broadcast in the United States on TBS and HBO Max.
Tickets are going on sale this Saturday (June 6) at 10 a.m. Central time. AEW World Champion MJF, Andrade El Idolo, Thunder Rosa, and Bandido are featured on AEW’s advertising graphic for the show, along with dual-contracted AEW/CMLL stars Mistico and Mascara Dorada.
AEW and CMLL have become close partners, and this will be the second year Arena Mexico — CMLL’s home venue in Mexico City — has played host to AEW action. The inaugural Grand Slam Mexico was held in June 2025 and performed very well in the television ratings.
Upcoming AEW calendar —
On the AEW calendar, Grand Slam Mexico is happening not long after the company’s July 26 Redemption pay-per-view that’s being held in Montreal. AEW will then be in Detroit for Dynamite and Collision on July 29-30 before heading to Mexico the following Wednesday.
A trip to the United Kingdom is scheduled for late August with Wembley Stadium hosting All In on August 30.
Before all of this, AEW has Forbidden Door set for San Jose, California on June 28. That PPV is being presented in partnership with NJPW, CMLL, and Stardom.
As announced by @FOXSportsMX, AEW is returning to Mexico City with #AEWGrandSlam: Mexico, LIVE from Arena México on Wednesday, August 5!
