Thursday’s AEW Collision drew 353,000 viewers on TBS, down from the prior week show’s 398,000 viewers. This week’s show was notable for Collision airing on TBS and for airing on a Thursday and not its regular Saturday night timeslot due to TNT not wanting Collision to go head-to-head against WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event show.
It drew a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic, same as the prior week show’s rating.
In regards to notable sports competition, the 2025 NBA Playoffs Game 2 of Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Oklahoma City Thunder drew 5,156,000 viewers on ESPN, the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 2 of Florida Panthers vs. Carolina Hurricanes drew 1,206,000 viewers on TNT and 51,000 viewers on truTV, and the MLB game of Cleveland Guardians vs. Detroit Tigers drew 214,000 viewers on MLB Network.
The streaming viewership numbers for the simulcasts on MAX is currently not known.
