TNA Wrestling has big plans for 2026, but going live every single week might not be one of themat least not yet. While Anthem Sports Group President Carlos Silva has previously teased a $10 million-per-year media rights deal that would allow Impact! to go live 52 weeks a year, his latest comments suggest theyre not fully committing to that schedule right away.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Silva addressed whether TNA might adopt a home base for regular tapingssomething similar to WWEs Performance Centerand what the real plan looks like for next year.
That doesnt mean weekly live TV is off the tableit just means there will still be a hybrid model in place.
Silva made it clear that both TNA leadership and talent prefer the energy and unpredictability of live shows.
But running a fully live schedule isnt just a creative decisionits a logistical puzzle.
And yes, TNA is taking notes.
This follows Silvas earlier remarks that the new TV deal would allow Impact! to potentially air live year-roundand that the promotion is already deep in negotiations to finalize that media agreement. But even with a bigger platform and more visibility thanks to WWE crossover, the weekly live dream still comes down to infrastructure.
Whether they hit all 52 weeks or stick to a blend of live and taped events, TNA is clearly thinking long-termand positioning itself for a major leap forward.
