AEW is turning All Out into an all-day event for fans in Chicago. Ahead of the September 26, 2026 pay-per-view at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, the company announced that it will host a free afternoon block party before the show gets underway.
AEW revealed the plans on social media, inviting fans to show up early for live music, wrestler Q&As, photo opportunities, giveaways and more.
“Chicago, the only choice on Saturday, September 26 is to go ALL OUT! And we’re inviting you to join us at the FREE #AEWAllOut Afternoon Block Party!”
The company also confirmed some of what fans can expect during the event, including a dunk booth that will help support Rebel Heart.
“Live Music, AEW Talent Q&A’s, Photo Booths, Giveaways, Dunk Booth to support Rebel Heart, and more!”
The block party will take place on the same day as All Out, giving fans another reason to arrive at the NOW Arena early before AEW’s latest pay-per-view hits the ring.
The current All Out card includes:
- AEW World Tag Team Championship — Three-Way Ladder Match: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage (c) vs. FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) with Stokely vs. The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson)
- AEW World Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley
- AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship — Chicago Street Fight: The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter) vs. Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross)
AEW already has a stacked night planned inside the arena, and now the company is giving fans something extra before the bell even rings. With the block party being free, All Out is shaping up to be more than just a pay-per-view for fans making the trip to Hoffman Estates.
