All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is preparing for its All Out 2026 pay-per-view on September 26 in the Chicago area. The event will be held at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates and features a main event where Will Ospreay defends the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley.

Match details have expanded to include a Chicago Street Fight for the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship between the Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) and the Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross). Additionally, a ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships has been confirmed, involving Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, FTR, and The Young Bucks. This match follows recent tensions, including a controversial finish at All In: London where Christian Cage used a wrench to secure a victory.

To enhance the fan experience, AEW has scheduled a free afternoon block party at Hideaway Brew Garden & Bar in Hoffman Estates. The festivities will include live music, talent Q&A sessions, photo booths, and a dunk booth to benefit the Rebel Heart ALS fundraiser.

The event represents a major instance of counterprogramming, as AEW will compete head-to-head with a WWE and Lucha Libre AAA Worlds Collide event at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont on the same day. The WWE broadcast is expected to feature CM Punk in his hometown.
