AEW Dynamite ratings up for first episode of 2026
Posted: Jan 13th 2026 By: Paul Fontaine
The January 7 edition AEW Dynamite from Tulsa, OK averaged 516,000 viewers on TBS, up 29.7 percent from the New Year’s Smash episode the prior week. This ties the best audience total the show has done since November 12.
Dynamite drew a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s up 14.3 percent from last week’s record low but ties the second-lowest rating the show has ever done in that category on a Wednesday night.
As compared to the same week in 2025, when Nielsen was still using its old panel-only reporting system, Dynamite’s overall viewership was down 16.1 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 52.9 percent.
Numbers for the episode that aired on Christmas Eve have not yet been reported. This week’s show was up 3.6 percent in viewers but down 11.1 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
