AEW Revolution 2026 is underway at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, but the conversation online has been dominated by streaming problems reported by viewers watching through HBO Max. Earlier in the night, fans attempting to watch the Zero Hour pre-show said the broadcast would not start on HBO Max. Many viewers reported being stuck on a Your Event Is Starting Soon screen while waiting for the stream to begin. AEW also offered the kickoff show on YouTube, which gave fans an alternative way to watch while the issues continued on the platform. For a short time, it seemed like the situation had improved once the main pay-per-view portion of AEW Revolution began. However, as the first match on the main card started, many viewers began reporting that the audio feed on HBO Max was out of sync with the video. Fans said commentary and crowd noise appeared delayed compared to what was happening inside the ring, while others claimed the audio sounded several minutes behind the broadcast. Additional complaints included buffering issues and streams that would not load at all. The problems quickly sparked a flood of reactions across social media as fans attempted to figure out what was going on. At the same time, AEW President Tony Khan was actively posting about the show on Twitter while the event aired live. One of Khans posts praised the crowd reaction during the opening matches of the event, saying that chants from the audience were justified during the AEW World Tag Team Championship match between FTR and The Young Bucks. Another post referenced chants during the Blackjack Battle Royal for the AEW National Championship as Ricochet and Jack Perry battled in the final moments of the match. However, as streaming complaints continued to pour in beneath his posts, fans began asking questions about the HBO Max issues directly in the replies. Shortly afterward, Khans posts appeared with replies disabled, preventing additional comments from being posted under the updates while the show continued. With AEW Revolution still unfolding live, it remains unclear whether the streaming issues will be fully resolved during the remainder of the broadcast.
