TNA Wrestling is officially on the move. AMC Networks and TNA jointly announced a multi-year rights agreement that will make AMC the exclusive U.S. television home of Thursday Night iMPACT! beginning January 15, 2026. The weekly two-hour flagship show will air live every Thursday from 9–11 p.m. ET and will also be available on AMC+.
The debut episode on AMC will air live from the Curtis Culwell Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. This marks a significant distribution upgrade for a promotion whose profile has risen sharply.
TNA Wrestling President Carlos Silva said partnering with AMC Networks represents a pivotal next step for the brand’s momentum heading into 2026. He emphasized this new media‑rights deal will expand TNA’s reach and energize its growth.
“We are super excited to bring the in-ring excitement, energy and drama of TNA Wrestling to AMC,” Silva said. “TNA Wrestling heads into 2026 the hottest it has ever been. With intense rivalries and a fan base that loves the TNA stars. We cannot wait to expand the TNA audience with our new partner, AMC Networks.”
Dan McDermott, AMC Networks Chief Content Officer and AMC Studios President, said the company sees alignment with the network’s fan-first programming. He noted the approach fits the promotion’s style. He added this approach matches the promotion’s storytelling style.
“TNA’s impressive growth and success is driven by the stories, characters and non-stop action fans love,” McDermott said. “We put fans at the center of everything we do, and TNA has built its brand and its programming around that same dedication and focus.”
Additionally, TNA will deliver a historic two-night stretch of live events from Albuquerque’s Tingley Coliseum in January airing on AMC.
Founded in 2002 and owned by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, TNA Wrestling has served as a home for some of the industry’s most recognizable names, including Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Sting. Today’s roster features high-profile talents such as Jeff and Matt Hardy, Nic and Ryan Nemeth, TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian, Mike Santana, Steve Maclin, Eddie Edwards, Moose, Mustafa Ali and Knockouts standout Tessa Blanchard.
The AMC deal comes one year after TNA launched a cross-promotional partnership with WWE and its NXT brand. This allowed talent to appear across both companies’ programming, further elevating the brand’s visibility.
