Current champion Kazuchika Okada

The AEW International Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It is a secondary championship for male wrestlers, and unlike AEW's other titles, which are almost exclusively defended on AEW programming, the International Championship can also be defended in other promotions globally.

As of January2, 2026, there have been 12 reigns between 10 champions. Pac was the inaugural champion. Orange Cassidy and Will Ospreay are tied for the most reigns at two, with Cassidy's first reign being the longest reign at 326 days, and he has the longest combined reign at 471 days. Jon Moxley has the shortest reign at 17 days. MJF is the youngest champion, winning the title at 28, while Kenny Omega is the oldest, winning the title at 41.

The current champion is Kazuchika Okada, who is in his first reign. He defeated Kenny Omega at All In on July 12, 2025, in Arlington, Texas in a Winner Takes All Unification match in which Okada defended the AEW Continental Championship, subsequently becoming the AEW Unified Champion. [1] After Okada lost the Continental Championship at Worlds End on December 27, 2025, it ended the unification thus rendering the Unified title inactive. [2]
