Major League Wrestling will return to the pay-per-view stage on Saturday, November 7, when MLW Saturday Night SuperFight streams live worldwide on Live Nation’s VEEPS. The event will originate from Cicero Stadium in Chicago and is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET.
The show represents MLW’s first pay-per-view in seven years, making it a notable step in the company’s 2026 plans. Saturday Night SuperFight is being positioned as the promotion’s biggest premium live event of the year, with the card set to bring together the title programs, rivalries, and conflicts currently developing on MLW Fusion.
MLW’s flagship weekly series airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Tubi. The November 7 event will serve as a larger-stage culmination point for stories established on that program, though individual matches and championship bouts have not yet been announced. The promotion said the lineup will be revealed over the coming weeks.
A Major Platform Moment for MLW
The move places MLW on VEEPS, the live-streaming platform owned by Live Nation. Saturday Night SuperFight will be available internationally, giving the company a worldwide distribution route for its pay-per-view return.

Court Bauer, MLW’s Founder and CEO, framed the show as an opportunity for the league to raise its ambitions after the launch of the new weekly Fusion series.
“MLW is on a roll, and now it’s time to go bigger,” Bauer said. “We’re not coming back to pay-per-view to play it safe. November 7 is where championships will be decided, rivalries will come to a head, and the best fighters in MLW will be expected to deliver on the biggest stage we’ve had in years. Chicago always brings an incredible atmosphere, and we’re giving that crowd — and fans watching around the world — a night of super fights.”
For a company that has traditionally utilized a mixture of television, streaming, and special-event programming, returning to the pay-per-view model is a significant statement. The seven-year gap adds additional importance to the November date, particularly because the promotion is presenting the event as more than a standalone supercard. It is intended to be the peak of MLW’s ongoing television storytelling in the final stretch of the year.
VEEPS Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer Kyle Heller also emphasized the opportunity to deliver a live global event around MLW’s established audience.
“MLW has built a highly engaged global audience, and Saturday Night SuperFight is the kind of must-see moment fans want to experience as it happens,” Heller said. “We’re excited to bring MLW’s return to pay-per-view to fans around the world and give them the opportunity to watch the biggest matches, rivalries, and championship moments unfold live.”
Killer Kross and a Deep Roster Could Shape the Card
While MLW has not confirmed any matches for Saturday Night SuperFight, the company highlighted several major names from its current roster in announcing the event. That group includes MLW World Heavyweight Champion Killer Kross, Matt Riddle, Místico, Austin Aries, The Good Brothers, CONTRA Unit, and emerging powerhouse ZAMAYA.
With Kross holding the promotion’s top championship, the MLW World Heavyweight Title picture is naturally expected to be one of the central focuses heading toward Chicago. However, no challenger for Kross has been named, and no title match has been made official as of the announcement.
The roster list also illustrates the range of possible directions for the show. Místico brings internationally recognized lucha libre credentials to MLW, while Riddle and Aries represent two established singles names capable of operating around the title scene or in featured rivalry matches. The Good Brothers offer a prominent tag team presence, and CONTRA Unit remains a potentially major factor wherever the group’s interests are involved.
ZAMAYA’s inclusion is also notable. By identifying the powerhouse alongside more established acts, MLW has signaled that its newer talent could have a role at one of the company’s most consequential events in recent years. That does not confirm a particular match or push, but it does place added attention on the paths MLW chooses to build during the weeks of Fusion preceding November 7.
For now, the clearest expectation is that the promotion will use its Thursday television episodes to establish the event’s top matches. Bauer’s comments specifically point to championship decisions and rivalries reaching decisive moments, which suggests the pay-per-view will be constructed as a payoff show rather than simply an exhibition card.
Chicago Again Takes Center Stage
Saturday Night SuperFight will be held at Cicero Stadium, continuing MLW’s regular presence in the Chicago area. The promotion described Chicago as one of its strongest markets, citing consecutive sellouts and a fan base that has played an important role in the company’s success in the city.
That established audience makes Cicero Stadium a logical setting for a pay-per-view relaunch. A familiar market can provide an energetic live atmosphere for an event built around major stakes, while the worldwide VEEPS broadcast extends that atmosphere beyond the building.
MLW will remain at Cicero Stadium the following night. On Sunday, November 8, the company is scheduled to hold an MLW Fusion television taping at the venue. Tickets for that event start at $10, and the taping provides MLW with an immediate chance to continue the stories that emerge from Saturday Night SuperFight.
The two-night Chicago stretch gives the company a concentrated weekend of content: a global pay-per-view on Saturday followed by television production on Sunday. Depending on the outcomes of the SuperFight card, the November 8 taping could become the first opportunity to address new champions, unresolved issues, or fresh rivalries coming out of the event.
VEEPS Pricing and Merchandise Plans
MLW and VEEPS have set a tiered pricing structure for Saturday Night SuperFight. Fans who pre-order during the early-bird window can purchase the event for $9.99, though that price is available for 48 hours only. The advance-purchase price will then be $19.99, while orders placed on November 7 will cost $24.99.
- Early-bird pre-order: $9.99 for 48 hours
- Advance purchase: $19.99
- Event-day purchase on November 7: $24.99
- Availability: Worldwide via VEEPS
The early $9.99 offer is a particularly aggressive entry point for a company returning to the pay-per-view marketplace after several years away. The pricing gives committed viewers an incentive to buy before the full card is revealed, while the advance and event-day tiers create a more traditional escalating structure as the show approaches.
In addition to the broadcast, MLW and VEEPS will collaborate on a limited-edition Saturday Night SuperFight merchandise collection created specifically for the event. Specific products, release information, and availability details have not yet been announced.
What Comes Next
Saturday Night SuperFight is executive produced by Court Bauer, Paul Walter Hauser, and Bryan Walsh. With the event less than six weeks removed from the announcement date, MLW now has a defined destination for its weekly programming and a major platform through which to present its top stars.
The key questions will be answered on upcoming editions of MLW Fusion: who will step forward to challenge Killer Kross, what championship bouts will be added, and which of the company’s featured rivalries will be given a premium live-event conclusion in Chicago.
MLW has made its intent clear. November 7 is not merely a return to an old distribution model; it is being presented as a major moment for the promotion’s current era. The card itself remains to be built, and talent and match lineups are subject to change, but the location, platform, timing, and pricing are now in place for MLW’s first pay-per-view in seven years.
