AEW Collision Episode To Be Split Into Two Parts Next Month

AEW Collision will see one of its episodes split into a two-parter over two nights next month due to the NCAA March Madness tournament. The 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament kicks off next month starting on March 17th. It was confirmed through a press release from HBO Max that the March 21st episode of Collision will be split in half.

The two one-hour episodes will be themed as “Slam Dunk Saturday” and “Slam Dunk Sunday.” The first hour takes place on March 21st at 11 PM ET on TNT and HBO Max. The second hour will take place on Sunday, also at 11 PM ET on both TNT and HBO Max.

The episodes will be taped along with the live March 18th episode of AEW Dynamite from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. AEW Dynamite will air during its normal timeslot at 8 PM ET on TBS and HBO Max.

Last year’s Slam Dunk Saturday and Sunday aired in full for AEW Plus subscribers on Sunday. It’s not yet clear if the same will be done for AEW Plus subscribers for this year’s iteration. Last year’s show, much like this year’s, was taped in advance at the AEW Dynamite taping the Wednesday before.
