Led by talents like Swerve Strickland, Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, “Timeless” Toni Storm, and many others, catch one of the most stacked rosters in the world redefine what mainstream pro wrestling can feel like.

These days, you don’t need traditional cable to enjoy live wrestling; you just need a live TV service subscription. To watch the best wrestle on AEW, we’ve compiled a list of streaming platforms that carry TBS and TNT where you can stay up to date with AEW programs.

A&Ew on Optimum

Optimum is an internet provider that also happens to offer cable TV plans. If you're not subscribed to the former, then you can't access the latter. And if you are interested, Optimum has four main TV plans to choose from: Core TV ($120/month for 200+ channels); Value TV ($125/month for 300 channels); Select TV ($140/month for 340 channels); and Premier TV ($164/month for more than 400 channels). Only Premier TV comes with premium services like Max, Showtime, and Starz, while the rest require an extra fee. Some pros about Optimum are that it also has a budget TV plan (Basic TV) that only costs $50/month for 50 channels and it has a wide array of packages that focus on specific interests and nationalities. Another plus? Optimum is contract-free. The cons, however, are plenty too: some customers have complained about hidden fees and expensive device equipment, as well as limited coverage and DVR storage.

Price: $120/month

A&Ew on Max + B/R Sports Add-on

The Max + B/R Sports add-on combines Max's arsenal of on-demand titles from Warner Bros., HBO, DC, and Cartoon Network with The Bleacher Report's wide coverage of live sporting events, including March Madness, the NBA Playoffs, The Stanley Cup Playoffs, and various MLB matches. You could say it's an extension of TBS, TNT, and truTV sports as it airs select (not all) games from those channels, but it also covers so much more, including other sports like golf, cycling, and MMA. Since October 2023, B/R Sports has been added to all Max plans completely free of charge, but once the promo ends, you'll have to pay $10/month on top of your Max subscription to enjoy B/R content. And of course, blackout restrictions apply.

A&Ew on DISH Network

Generally, Dish Network's TV plans are pretty similar to most cable packages out there, but many things still set them apart. For one, Dish is available in more parts of the country, and for another, it has a great DVR unit in Hopper 3, which can record up to 2,000 hours and 16 shows at the same time. And when it comes to prices, Dish guarantees it won't hike prices up for at least two years, and quite uniquely, it gives you the option to remove local channels from your plan, which will effectively reduce the price by $12/month. Speaking of price, the cheapest Dish plan costs $85/month and carries channels like CNN, Disney Channel, ESPN, and National Geographic. As of this writing, it also comes with Starz, Paramount+ with Showtime, and Dish's movie add-on free for three months--after that, they will cost $30/month. Now, from what we could gather, it seems like Dish isn't exempt from dodgy customer service and wily hidden fees (mostly in the equipment). It also doesn't offer a lot of bundling opportunities. But if you don't mind these snags, plus the satellite, then Dish is a great, accessible TV option.

Price: $84.99/month

A&Ew on DirecTV Cable

DirecTV's cable packages are some of the most comprehensive you'll find on the market. The cheapest plan, known as the Entertainment package, starts at $85/month and comes with 200 hours of HD DVR (unlimited on cloud). As for channels, some of the more notable ones include CNN, ESPN, The Food Network, TBS, The Disney Channel, and local networks where available. During your first three months, you'll also have access to premium channels like HBO and Showtime. DirecTV's other packages are Choice (which has RSNs), Ultimate (which has even more sports and entertainment), and Premier (which has everything plus premium channels). It may not be explicit about it, but DirecTV does have a 2-year contract, the early termination of which will cost you $20 for each of the remaining months. If this is a deal-breaker, you might want to consider DirecTV Stream, which is the provider's cordless and contractless alternative.

A&Ew on Centurylink

Centurylink"}" data-sheets-userformat="{"2":769,"3":{"1":0},"11":4,"12":0}">Centurylink doesn't offer its own set of TV packages. However, it lets you bundle its internet plans with two TV services: Dish, whose prices start at $85/month, and DirecTV, whose prices start at $70/month. All in, Centurylink's internet and TV bundles start at $125/month, which is a fair price for the speeds Centurylink offers, though you could also get Dish and DirecTV directly from the source for more or less the same price. Better yet, cordless alternatives, like DirecTV Stream, offer much of the same for reduced costs. You won't find a lot of discounts by Centurylink, but it does make billing easier. Currently, Centurylink is available in 16 states, namely, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South, Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

A&Ew on Armstrong Cable

Armstrong may be more known for its internet services, but it does provide a solid TV plan if you're covered and can afford it. In terms of coverage, it's only offered in six states, namely (and in order of availability) Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Maryland, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Its sole TV plan, Television Plus, costs $115.95/month for 100 channels (DVR is extra), but it's not available as a standalone. You'll have to bundle it in with one of Armstrong's internet plans, which start at $34.95/month. You're looking at a potential final price of $151/month, but that can always go higher or lower depending on the deals Armstrong is offering at any given moment. Still, for that price, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives with more channels, not to mention DVR storage and faster internet. But it's popular in the Northeast for a reason: being a small and local business means it provides great and personalized customer service. Unlike other cable providers, Armstrong also doesn't require you to sign long-term contracts.
