AEW Blood and Guts will return to Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday, November 4.
Tony Schiavone announced during Saturday’s Collision that the 2026 edition will take place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, marking AEW’s first event at the venue.
Tickets will go on sale September 28.
The match is essentially AEW’s version of the WarGames concept, with two rings enclosed by a steel cage. Teams enter the match at staggered intervals, with the contest officially beginning once all competitors have entered. There are no pinfalls, with victory coming only by submission or surrender.
The event will also bring Blood and Guts back to Jacksonville for the first time since the match made its debut at Daily’s Place on May 5, 2021. That inaugural version saw The Pinnacle defeat The Inner Circle inside the two-ring steel cage.
Blood & Guts has since become an annual fixture on AEW’s calendar, with editions held in Detroit, Boston and Nashville before moving to Greensboro, North Carolina, in 2025.
Last year’s show expanded the concept to include two Blood and Guts matches for the first time. The women opened the event with the first women’s version of the match, while Kyle O’Reilly forced Jon Moxley to submit in the men’s main event.
