AEW reveals location for Fright Night 2026
Fall is almost here, and AEW is making plans for its Halloween-themed episodes of Dynamite and Collision.
The promotion announced today that Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri will host Fright Night Dynamite 2026 on Wednesday, October 28. Along with the live episode, there will be a taping for that week’s edition of Collision, which is branded as a Fright Night event as well.
Chaifetz Arena has been a pretty frequent stop for AEW, including hosting two pay-per-views: Dynasty 2024 and WrestleDream 2025.
Now an annual tradition for AEW, Fright Night first took place in 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio and was then held in Edinburg, Texas last year.
