The wrestling world is about to witness something special. On Sunday, July 26, 2026, All Elite Wrestling makes history as the promotion descends upon Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for the inaugural AEW Redemption pay-per-view. And you, dear reader, are not going to miss a single second of it.
A Night Seven Years in the Making
Let me paint you a picture. The Bell Centre in Montreal—a venue that has hosted hockey legends, music icons, and some of the most memorable moments in sports entertainment history—is about to add another chapter to its storied legacy. On July 26, 2026, AEW will stage its very first pay-per-view in Montreal.
This isn’t just another PPV on the calendar. This is AEW’s tenth annual pay-per-view, marking a significant milestone for a promotion that started with just three PPVs in 2019. From humble beginnings to a global powerhouse, AEW has grown exponentially, and Redemption represents the culmination of years of building toward something truly special.
AEW President Tony Khan captured the moment perfectly: “There’s such a rich history of professional wrestling. This will be a special event. It’s the first-ever AEW Redemption and it’s also the first-ever AEW pay-per-view in Montreal.”
The stakes couldn’t be higher. The card is stacked. And whether you’re in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or anywhere else on this planet, I’m going to show you exactly how to watch every breathtaking moment live.

Why This Event Matters: The Significance of AEW Redemption
Let me take a step back and give you the bigger picture. AEW Redemption isn’t just another PPV—it represents something far more significant.
A Milestone for AEW
With Redemption, AEW reaches ten annual pay-per-views for the first time in company history. From three PPVs in 2019 to ten in 2026, the growth has been astronomical. This is AEW establishing itself as a legitimate global force in professional wrestling.
AEW’s Canadian Connection
Redemption marks AEW’s second Canadian PPV of 2026, following Dynasty in Vancouver. Montreal has a rich wrestling history, and bringing AEW’s first PPV to the city is a significant moment for both the promotion and the fans.
The Montreal Factor
As one report noted: “It’s the first-ever AEW Redemption and it’s also the first-ever AEW pay-per-view in Montreal.” The Bell Centre has hosted wrestling events before, but never an AEW PPV. This is history in the making.
The Name “Redemption”
The name itself carries weight. As AEW announced: “All Elite Wrestling is excited to announce its return to Canada this Summer with a BRAND NEW PPV: AEW Redemption. This inaugural event will take place LIVE! Sunday, July 26th at Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec. Be a part of this historic night!”
