AEW Forbidden Door 2026 Set for San Jose on June 28 — Start Times and Confirmed Matches

AEW Forbidden Door 2026 is locked in for this Sunday, June 28th, at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, and the card is shaping up to be one of the promotion’s most anticipated joint events with NJPW in recent memory.

The main card is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT, giving fans on both coasts a clear window to tune in.

Several high-profile matches have already been confirmed for the show. Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay are set to collide in what figures to be one of the most technically compelling bouts on the card — two of the most dynamic wrestlers in the world today going head-to-head on a stage that consistently delivers marquee moments. On the women’s side, Mercedes Moné puts her star power on the line against Maya World, a matchup that puts Moné’s TBS Championship reign back in the spotlight. Rounding out the confirmed matches is a clash between Thekla and Starlight Kid, a bout that brings strong in-ring credentials to the women’s division spotlight.

Forbidden Door has grown into one of the most anticipated events on the AEW calendar since its debut, offering a unique crossover platform that blends AEW and NJPW rosters and gives fans matchups that simply don’t exist anywhere else. San Jose’s SAP Center provides a sizable, energetic venue to host what is building into a stacked night of professional wrestling.

With the event just days away, additional match announcements could still be on the horizon before the bell rings Sunday evening.
