AEW All Out 2026 now has its date, location and venue locked in, and Tony Khan made the announcement himself.
Khan appeared on Q101 with Case and revealed that AEW All Out 2026 will return to the Chicago area on Saturday, September 26. The event will take place at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, bringing one of AEW’s biggest pay-per-views back to a market that has been attached to the company since the start. Khan opened the interview by making it clear he had news for AEW fans in Chicago.
“Yes, I do, Case. I’m really excited to be here with you. I can’t wait to see you in person. And the excitement involves AEW coming back to Chicago. It’s going to be an incredible event. Ladies and gentlemen, AEW All Out 2026 is coming back to Chicago and the on-sale starts one week from today.”
The ticket schedule was also laid out during the interview. VIP and premium VIP pre-sale begins July 7 at 10 a.m. The general pre-sale starts July 9 and runs through July 12. Tickets go on sale to the general public on July 13. Khan confirmed the date again while hyping AEW’s return to Chicago.
“That’s right. Tickets for AEW All Out go on sale in one week. Next Monday, the event is going to be on Saturday, September 26th. It’ll be AEW All Out coming back to Chicago. And I can’t wait for this, Case. Tickets go on sale on Monday and the pre-sale starts less than 24 hours from now.”
AEW clearly expects strong demand for the show. All Out has been one of the company’s signature pay-per-views for years, and the Chicago area has hosted plenty of major AEW moments. Khan didn’t downplay that part either, saying fans should expect the event to be a hot ticket.
“You can get involved in the VIP pre-sale tomorrow. And there’s going to be a lot of demand when AEW All Out comes back to Chicago. That’s going to be a red hot ticket, my friend.”
AEW All Out 2026 is now set for September 26 at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. With the date, location and venue now official, the next question is what AEW has planned for the card once the company starts building toward Chicago.
