When it began, Honor Club had a tiered pricing model that also offered discounts on merchandise and advances on ticket sales.[6] The service had two tiers, both of which contained special discounts as well as access to the ROH TV archive. The basic tier, which included a 50% discount on pay-per-views, was available for a monthly subscription price of $9.99 or one annual payment of $99.99. The VIP subscription costed $119.99 annually and provided live-streaming access to all future pay-per-view events and access to the ROH PPV archive with no additional costs.[7]
On December 11, 2022, after ROH was acquired by AEW CEO Tony Khan, Honor Club was relaunched without any tiers, with payment being $9.99 a month for all subscribers. Initially, pay-per-view events were no longer streamed on the relaunched service but rather were made available 90 days after they air on Bleacher Report.[8] However, beginning with Final Battle in December 2023, all ROH events were streamed live on Honor Club at no additional charge to subscribers.[9] On January 18, 2023, a special event would be taped for Honor Club, serving as a tribute show for Jay Briscoe.[10][11] Starting on March 2, 2023, ROH resumed airing its weekly series Ring of Honor Wrestling on Honor Club.[12][13][14]
Honor Club is available online, through smart TVs and set-top boxes such as Roku and Apple TV, as well as via mobile apps.[15]
