MLW issued the following press release on Thursday to announce its streaming deal with Tubi.
CHARLESTON, SC–Sept. 16, 2026 – Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced a new streaming distribution agreement with Tubi for its weekly flagship series, MLW FUSION. Beginning Sept. 17, new episodes of MLW’s flagship weekly series will stream Thursdays at 8 PM ET free on Tubi.
“Wrestling should be easy to find and free to watch,” said MLW Founder and CEO Court Bauer. “We built MLW around that, no paywalls, no subscription barriers, nothing standing between a fan and the show, and Tubi shares that same fan-first philosophy at scale. Starting Sept. 17, Tubi’s 110 million monthly active users have a front row seat on Thursday nights to the hardest hitting hour in pro wrestling, and it won’t cost a dime.”
MLW FUSION serves up a distinctive brand of pro wrestling, blending cutting-edge, new-era wrestling with the grit, colorful characters and throwback flavor of ’rasslin. Built around big fights, heated rivalries, championship stakes and an anything-can-happen attitude, FUSION brings a rowdy, hard-hitting edge to the modern wrestling landscape. MLW will also continue to produce live special events alongside the weekly series.
MLW is executive produced by Court Bauer, Paul Walter Hauser and Bryan Walsh.
Powell’s POV: MLW had a deal with Fox-owned Tubi five years ago. WWE allegedly used its then-partnership with Fox to convince Tubi to scrap the deal. MLW filed a lawsuit against WWE, which was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount (believed to be $20 million). I like MLW’s approach of playing up that their product is free on the streamer.
