Lucha Libre AAA and Twitch are partnering to bring you the biggest lucha event of the year for free, and you can start watching right now.

Leading up to Saturday’s TripleMania XXV, Twitch and AAA are showing a “Best of TripleMania” streaming marathon on AAA’s new Twitch channel, LuchaLibreAAA. The marathon will culminate with a free livestream of TripleMania XXV, this Saturday, August 26, at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Kevin Gill and Gabriel Ramirez will be offering English commentary of TripleMania XXV at LuchaLibreAAA_EN.

According to the announcement from Anthony Guzzardo of the Twitch marathon team, “From its sold out debut in Mexico City’s Plaza de Toros to last year’s kick off of the bitter feud between Dr. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown, we’ll be airing all the landmark moments and biggest matches of each previous Triplemanía event.”

The partnership offers a huge opportunity for lucha fans worldwide to enjoy one of the sport’s biggest events for free, and a best of marathon is a savvy move for a promotion that offers limited access to a video library. TripleMania XXV has an incredible card that includes a triple threat between Johnny Mundo, Texano Jr., and El Hijo del Fantasma. The main event is a can’t-miss Mask vs. Mask match between Psycho Clown and Dr. Wagner, Jr, and as Guzzardo points out, the marathon will give new viewers a chance to catch up on Dr. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown’s feud from its beginnings at last year’s TripleMania.

This week’s announcement from Lucha Libre AAA and Twitch follows in the footsteps of WrestleCircus’ successful Twitch streams of their recent events. The move to livestreaming on Twitch capitalizes on the substantial overlap between Twitch’s primary gaming audience and the wrestling community, offering an opportunity to lure potential new viewers in from Twitch regulars who otherwise might not have heard about the event. The Twitch streams don’t offer access to a back catalogue, but “free” is a great introductory price for new fans looking to branch out from bigger promotions.
