AEW is back today (Sun., Aug. 24, 2025) with their annual cross-promotional extravaganza with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, this time coming our way from Jolly Old England — Forbidden Door London! The PPV comes our way from The O2 Arena in the United Kingdom’s capital.
Forbidden Door London will get rolling at the start time of 11:30 a.m. ET with the free “Zero Hour” pre-show, which despite its name runs for 90 minutes on All Elite’s YouTube channel, and right here at Cageside Seats. That leads right into
the PPV at 1 p.m. ET, which you can buy from PPV.com, Amazon, and YouTube in the United States, as well as on traditional PPV. Internationally, it’s on Triller TV, and may be available via those providers as well.
We’ll have play-by-play coverage of Forbidden Door London from Zero Hour through to the main event in our live blog here. To help you get you ready, we have predictions from our staff here, and a preview of the entire show here.
