AEW Boasts Major Viewership Surge in the UK as ITV Numbers Climb

AEW’s U.S. viewership may be harder to track due to their simulcast on Max, but in the UK, the numbers are telling a different story—one that AEW is more than happy to talk about.

According to Fightful, All Elite Wrestling has been touting a recent surge in their UK audience, with internal reports celebrating some of their best ITV ratings in years. This past week’s AEW Dynamite on ITV pulled in 113,000 live/same-day viewers, making it the third-best live audience in over two years.

The previous week’s episode was even bigger, ranking as the second-best in the past year, with a seven-day total reaching at least 139,000 viewers, per data provided to AEW by ITV. Additionally, internal discussions have noted that another recent episode landed in the top five highest-rated shows of the past year.

AEW sources are reportedly calling this one of their strongest UK viewership streaks in a long time, signaling real momentum across the pond. With WWE maintaining a strong grip on UK television, AEW’s ability to pull these numbers could indicate a growing foothold in an important wrestling market.

AEW is clearly making some noise in the UK, and these numbers prove it. While the battle for international dominance in wrestling is always shifting, AEW’s recent surge on ITV shows that fans across the pond are tuning in more than ever. If this momentum keeps up, WWE might have to start paying closer attention.
