Impact Moving to Thursdays

Impact Wrestling announced that beginning on April 8, their weekly show will now air on Thursday nights at 8 PM ET on AXS TV and Twitch, moving from their Tuesday night slot.

With NXT very likely moving to Tuesdays after WrestleMania, the move by Impact makes sense.

TNA/Impact has aired on Thursdays throughout most of its existence. The show has been airing on Tuesdays since it moved to AXS TV in October 2019, taking the wrestling time slot that was opened up by SmackDown after its move to Fridays on FOX.

BREAKING: IMPACT! will return to its traditional Thursday night time-slot at 8pm ET, beginning April 8.

“IMPACT Wrestling has years of history airing on Thursdays, which was the night for high-energy, action-packed matches, starring some of the most high-profile stars in pro wrestling history,” said IMPACT Executive Vice-President Scott D’Amore. “Nothing is changing from that front when IMPACT! jumps back to Thursday nights.”

Leading into IMPACT! every Thursday night will be Before The IMPACT (BTI), an hour-long show on AXS TV, starting at 7pm ET. Hosted by Jon Burton, Gia Miller and Josh Mathews, BTI delivers late-breaking news, exclusive matches, one-on-one interviews with the IMPACT Wrestling stars and more.
