Fite TV Will Stream AEW Double or Nothing Outside U.S.

Published Fri, 17 May 2019 11:05:51 -0500

Earlier this week, we learned that AEW signed a deal with Turner to air a weekly wrestling show on TNT starting this fall, as well as to air AEW PPV events, such as the upcoming Double or Nothing, on Turner's B/R Live streaming service for U.S. residents. Now, sports streaming service Fite TV, which streams PPVs by wrestling promotions such as Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and many smaller companies, will handle streaming Double or Nothing outside of the U.S., according to a press release from AEW.

The press release doesn't list a price, but the price on B/R Live is fifty bucks, so it's likely the price will be similar on Fite. Check out the press release below for more details.

UNIONDALE, NY (May 17, 2019) — FITE TV, the largest digital combat sports platform, announced that All Elite Wrestling's highly anticipated DOUBLE OR NOTHING pay-per-view event will be available live to non-United States viewers on Saturday, May 25.

"A global and historic event the scope of DOUBLE OR NOTHING requires nothing less than the best global platform and partner in the business, one that is capable of not only reaching wrestling fans outside of the U.S., but also serving them reliably on a wide variety of platforms," said Tony Khan, President and CEO of AEW. "The natural choice for AEW was FITE.TV. Our mission at AEW is 'Change the World,' and to do so, we need to reach the world. With FITE.TV, we will."
