All Elite Wrestling announces Paris debut and new tour dates

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has announced several upcoming tour dates and international expansions. The promotion will make its debut in France on October 6, 2026, with the AEW Grand Slam France event at the Adidas Arena in Paris. This event will include television tapings for both Dynamite and Collision.

CEO Tony Khan noted that the decision to expand into France was driven by the significant number of French fans traveling to the company’s London events. Khan expressed hope that Paris will become a regular site for major live events.

In the United States, AEW confirmed several October dates, including a Halloween-themed “Fright Night” double taping at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 28. Other scheduled U.S. stops include Highland Heights, Kentucky, on October 3; Cleveland, Ohio, on October 14; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on October 24. Additionally, the WrestleDream 2026 pay-per-view is set for October 17 in Orlando, Florida.

Separately, Joe Hand Promotions is expanding its distribution of AEW pay-per-view events to hospitality venues, introducing a free, continuous WatchAEW FAST Channel for bars and restaurants.
