As teased a few weeks ago and almost confirmed last night, AMC Networks and TNA Wrestling today announced a multi-year agreement to bring TNA’s flagship weekly television show, Thursday Night iMPACT!, to AMC, TNA’s new television home in the US.
The TNA-AMC partnership kicks off LIVE from the Curtis Culwell Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex on Thursday, January 15, 2026. AMC will feature “Thursday Night iMPACT!” as a two-hour block of action-packed TNA Wrestling exclusively on television every Thursday from 9-11 PM EST. The new TNA-AMC agreement also includes extending the weekly telecast to AMC+ viewers.

“We are super excited to bring the in-ring excitement, energy, and drama of TNA Wrestling to AMC,” said TNA Wrestling President Carlos Silva. “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, which has such a long and storied history of serving passionate and engaged fans across so many shows and franchises, through this new media rights deal.”
“The stories and characters drive TNA’s impressive growth and success, and non-stop action fans love,” said Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer, AMC Networks and President of AMC Studios. “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. What a great opportunity to come together and make Thursday Night iMPACT! a dynamic and entertaining weekly event on AMC and AMC+ starting next month.”
AMC Networks
The cable network, perhaps best known for “The Walking Dead” and “Breaking Bad,” has never previously hosted professional wrestling programming. The Dolan Family, which also owns and controls Madison Square Garden, The New York Knicks, and The New York Rangers, owns AMC.
When TNA premieres on AMC, it will have a new home that puts the company in front of a potential 60 million cable homes. The belief and hope within the promotion for many years had been that, when the company landed on a stronger platform, it would lead to greater awareness and success for the company.
This move would be the largest, most high-profile platform TNA programming has appeared on, dating back to their exit from SpikeTV at the end of 2014. TNA’s current home, AXS TV, is believed to have 30-35 million potential homes, but is not currently carried by several top carriers, including Cablevision and Verizon Fios. AMC will be a massive jump forward.

Tickets for both Albuquerque shows at Tingley Coliseum will go on sale on December 11, with the pre-sale on December 9.
The NXT / TNA Partnership and TNA+ Will Continue
Another update for TNA Wrestling fans: there will be no change for TNA+ as it will continue to air episodes and PLEs internationally. TNA Wrestling has long been recognized for its captivating characters and adrenaline-pumping action. Nobody does professional wrestling like TNA.
One of the cornerstones of TNA is the popular X-Division, known for its high-flying, high-risk matches. The X Division has long carried a simple slogan: “It’s not about weight limits … it’s about no limits.” Leon Slater is the reigning X Division Champion – and at age 21, the youngest X Division Champion in company history. Another prominent feature of TNA Wrestling is its women’s division, affectionately known as the Knockouts Division.
TNA Wrestling in 2025 announced a groundbreaking, multi-year partnership with WWE and its NXT brand, allowing WWE stars to appear on TNA programming, and TNA stars to appear on WWE shows. In November, TNA stars Nic Nemeth and Matt Cardona, among others, appeared on WWE programming, while Leon Slater, Xia Brookside, Léi Ying Lee, and others were on WWE/NXT. When asked, the company confirms the partnership is not meant to end due to this new deal.
