Sportsnet has already begun promoting the new programming lineup, with official graphics appearing over the weekend. A formal announcement is expected to follow shortly, solidifying TNAs place as the networks new wrestling powerhouse.
This deal comes as Sportsnets decade-long partnership with WWE concludes. WWE programming, including Raw, NXT, Friday Night SmackDown, and premium live events, will move to Netflix in Canada starting January 6, with Raw kicking off the transition.
Previously, Impact Wrestling aired on Fight Network and Game TV, which are both owned by TNAs parent company, Anthem Sports & Entertainment. Despite this shift in Canada, TNA will remain on its U.S. home, AXS TV.
