The AEW Continental Championship is a men's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established on November 18, 2023, the title has a special attribute in that it is defended under Continental Rules—no one is allowed at ringside, outside interference is strictly prohibited, and matches have a 20-minute time limit. The reigning champion is Jon Moxley, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating Kazuchika Okada in the 2025 Continental Classic final at Worlds End on December 27, 2025; this also ended the title's unification with the AEW International Championship, rendering the AEW Unified Championship inactive.
The title is also the prize of the promotion's Continental Classic (C2), an annual round-robin tournament that begins at the end of November and culminates at the Worlds End pay-per-view event in late December. The incumbent champion at the time of the tournament is automatically entered and defends the title in the C2. Eddie Kingston became the first-ever Continental Champion after winning the inaugural tournament in December 2023.
When the title is jointly held with the ROH World Championship of sister American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) and the Strong Openweight Championship of the American branch of partner promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the three titles together make up the American Triple Crown Championship, also referred to as the Continental Crown. When the title is jointly held with the AEW International Championship, both titles together make up the AEW Unified Championship. As of December 2025, this has only happened once for both instances.
