TNA Wrestling is about to make its prime-time return in a big way. Starting today, January 15, the company’s flagship show iMPACT! will air live every Thursday night from 9–11 PM ET on AMC and AMC+.
It’s part of a brand-new broadcast deal with AMC Networks that adds another major platform to TNA’s growing presence alongside AXS TV and its standalone streaming service, TNA+.

AJ Styles Headlines the Live AMC Premiere
The Thursday night debut is already shaping up to be one of the biggest TNA shows in years. “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles returns live on January 15 for the first time since Slammiversary, headlining the premiere from the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas, Texas.
Also announced for the loaded kickoff show:
- TNA World Championship: Frankie Kazarian vs. Mike Santana
With Kaz still calling out the marks, Santana wants to show the world that he’s everything Total Nonstop Action can hang its hat on for future success. Can the former champion dethrone the long-time TNA star?
- Knockouts Tag Team Championship: The IInspiration vs. The Elegance Brand
This is one match that should definitely be…Iconic! With Knockout Gold on the line, the Elegance hopes to give the championships a dash of, well, elegance.
- Six-Man Tag Action: Elijah and The Hardys vs. Order 4
You may know him as Elias or Ezekiel, but the Hardy Boys know Elijah as their partner for a war against Hotch, Skyler, and Mustafa Ali. Will the former Retribution member lead his Order to victory or will the Elijah and his Broken Immortals have them singing the blues?

AMC Deal Marks a New Era for TNA
The multi-year agreement between AMC Networks and TNA Wrestling brings iMPACT! to a broader audience with weekly episodes airing live on both AMC and AMC+. It kicks off a slate of live events, including back-to-back nights at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, later in January.
“TNA Wrestling heads into 2026 the hottest it has ever been,” said TNA President Carlos Silva, calling the deal a game-changer for the brand and its fans.
AMC’s Dan McDermott echoed the sentiment, noting that both companies share a commitment to delivering exciting, fan-focused entertainment every week.
TNA’s Legacy and What’s Next
Founded in 2002, TNA Wrestling has featured legends like Sting, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, and now boasts a 2025–26 roster that includes the Hardy brothers, Tessa Blanchard, Moose, Mustafa Ali, and Léi Yǐng Lee – the first Chinese Knockouts Champion in company history. Riding a wave of momentum thanks to their NXT-partnership, this show could spell a major shift in the wrestling landscape. Can this propel the company past its spot as #3 among wrestling companies in the U.S.? Saturday on AMC+ may answer that question once and for all.
