All Elite Wrestling announced on September 16, 2026, that Hulu Japan will become the exclusive Japanese streaming destination for its programming beginning in November 2026. In a press release issued by the promotion, AEW stated that Hulu Japan will carry AEW Dynamite, AEW Collision and all company pay-per-views, starting with AEW Full Gear 2026 on November 14. The promotion said further details of the agreement would be disclosed in the coming weeks.
Programming scope and the NJPW World transition
The Hulu Japan package covers AEW's two flagship weekly shows and its full pay-per-view lineup, replacing the company's previous arrangement in Japan. AEW's streaming deal with NJPW World ended on August 31, with weekly episodes gradually being pulled from the service and the historical TV library removed at expiration. The previous AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-views remain on NJPW World under the new arrangement, and it was not clear at the time of the announcement whether a future Forbidden Door event will also appear on Hulu Japan given NJPW's involvement. The status of AEW's MyAEW direct-to-consumer service in Japan was not addressed in the announcement, and the press release did not specify whether AEW's tape library will be available on Hulu Japan.
International expansion follows MENA deal with TOD by beIN
The Hulu Japan agreement is the latest move in AEW's international expansion push. Earlier in September 2026, AEW closed a separate deal with TOD by beIN to distribute its television programming and pay-per-view events across the Middle East and North Africa. AEW continues to offer subscription access to weekly programming, pay-per-views and Ring of Honor content internationally through its MyAEW service outside the markets covered by these regional partnerships.

Further partnership terms, including pricing, episode timing and library availability, are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
