List of Major League Wrestling events
This is a list of professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV), supercard, and streaming events held by Major League Wrestling (MLW).[1]
From 2018–2023, select matches from MLW's supercard events were presented as part of special episodes of MLW Fusion, the MLW Fusion: Alpha mini-series, and MLW Underground Wrestling. Between 2018–2019, portions of several supercard events, as well as a pre-show for 2019's Saturday Night SuperFight PPV, were broadcast live as Fusion specials; the remaining matches on those cards would air later on broadcast delay. Other events (namely Battle Riot III, the 2021 Fightland event, and Battle Riot IV) would air as standalone TV specials – equivalent to a PPV.
In 2023, MLW began a partnership with TrillerTV to air live events through the latter's subscription service; its first event would be Never Say Never on July 8 of that year.[2] Since January 2024, in addition to those monthly live events, MLW has also presented a free, taped special for BeIN Sports USA and MLW's YouTube channel.[3] Beginning in Summer 2024, MLW's live events would be moved to their YouTube channel as part of the launch of the promotion's new YouTube channel membership program. Live events would be broadcast live for free beginning with Battle Riot VI.[4]
