All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is scheduled to hold its 2026 All In: London pay-per-view (PPV) event on Sunday, August 30th, at Wembley Stadium in London, England. So far, six matches have been officially announced. The main event will feature AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defending his title against Will Ospreay.

According to Fightful Select, AEW sources have indicated since February that the matchup between Omega and Ospreay has always been the plan for the main event. The report also clarified that rumors suggesting an internal push for MJF to join the match, which emerged prior to Beach Break, are false and were never considered. MJF has been slated to participate in the Casino Gauntlet Match since before he lost the AEW World Championship to Omega. Similarly, Andrade has also been planned for the Casino Gauntlet, and the match will prominently feature the two due to their name recognition.

The report further confirmed that the AEW Women’s World Championship Match between Mercedes Moné and reigning champion Willow Nightingale has been in the works for months. However, some within the company had advocated for Thekla’s inclusion when her popularity surged. The original plan for Nightingale vs. Moné was established at least since Toni Storm went off TV, but Nightingale’s injury has likely altered some specifics around this matchup.

There has been speculation about other tag teams being added to the AEW World Tag Team Championship Match, which pits Adam Copeland and Christian Cage against The Young Bucks. However, sources indicated last week that the match will only feature these two teams. Additionally, the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship Match between Divine Dominion and Brawling Birds has been the planned matchup for most of 2026.

At one point, a match between Darby Allin and Kevin Knight was discussed, but it has not been confirmed if it is still happening.
