Munich, Germany (October 27, 2026) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Inc. announced today a new broadcast partnership between TNA Wrestling and SPORT1, bringing the promotion’s weekly flagship series Thursday Night iMPACT! to viewers throughout Germany. The partnership marks an important return for TNA, which has a long and rich history in the country.

 

Starting November 3, SPORT1 will feature German-language broadcasts of the Thursday Night iMPACT! series, with exclusive commentary and localization, while showcasing TNA’s legendary roster of pro wrestling legends alongside exciting, emerging stars.

 

This move is a further continuation of the platform’s global expansion initiative, focused on increasing TNA’s television presence across Europe and around the world. Through SPORT1, German wrestling fans will now have regular access to acclaimed TNA programming, ensuring they will be able to enjoy the promotion’s signature brand of hard-hitting action, blockbuster stories, and larger-than-life personas—conveniently located on one of the country’s top sports media.

 

Andreas Gerhardt, Chief Content & Distribution Officer of SPORT1, said:

“Professional wrestling has a passionate and established fanbase in Germany, and we are pleased to welcome TNA Wrestling to SPORT1. TNA combines compelling personalities, athletic competition and entertaining storytelling, and we look forward to introducing its weekly programming to our audience.”

 

Carlos Silva, President, TNA Wrestling and Anthem Sports Group, said:

“Germany has always been an important market—both for professional wrestling and TNA, in particular. We are excited to join forces with SPORT1 to bring TNA content back to fans across the country. SPORT1 has firmly established itself as a major platform in sports and sports entertainment, making them an ideal partner as we continue expanding TNA’s international presence. We look forward to giving German fans a consistent destination to experience TNA every week.”

 

The SPORT1 partnership comes on the heels of significant growth and momentum for TNA Wrestling. Since launching its landmark U.S. television partnership with AMC Global Media, Thursday Night iMPACT! has delivered multiple ratings increases, while TNA’s groundbreaking collaboration with WWE continues to bring talent from both companies together across their respective programs. TNA has also expanded its global distribution and direct-to-consumer offerings, reaching fans in 200 countries and engaging more than 26 million social media followers worldwide.
