Warner Bros. Discovery has officially released the October 2025 programming schedule for HBO Max, and it’s loaded with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) content, including a major pay-per-view event, special episodes, and anniversary celebrations.
The biggest highlight is AEW WrestleDream 2025, which will air live on Saturday, October 18 at 8 p.m. ET, preceded by a special one-hour pre-show, AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: WrestleDream, beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Fans will also be treated to a countdown special airing on Wednesday, October 15 immediately following that night’s episode of AEW Collision.
October will also mark a major milestone for AEW’s flagship show as AEW Dynamite celebrates its 6-Year Anniversary on Wednesday, October 1. The company has planned additional themed broadcasts throughout the month, including AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday on October 7 and AEW Collision: Homecoming on October 11.
Regular weekly programming will continue as usual with AEW Dynamite airing every Wednesday and AEW Collision every Saturday. Fans of classic AEW content will also be treated to a special throwback block on October 24, featuring episodes from 2021 centered on the acclaimed feud between Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page.
