TNA Impact Rating Ticks Down From AMC Debut, Viewership Steady

Last week’s episode of TNA Impact saw the rating take an expected downward tick, though the overall viewership stayed generally steady. Thursday night’s show on AMC brought in a 0.03 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 171,000 viewers per Wrestlenomics. Those numbers are down 25% (0.01) and 1.2% from the AMC premiere episode’s 0.04 demo rating and 174,000 viewers. As will always be the case, these numbers do not include AMC+ or TNA+ streaming viewership.
A drop was always expected for the sophomore episode; that’s just the nature of how TV ratings work in that they debut strong as curious viewers check it out, and it sheds audience members in successive weeks before finding its equilibrium. That said, the hold in the total viewers is impressive although we still need to wait a few weeks to find out what the normal ratings and audience average will be for the show. Most shows don’t settle into their final ratings numbers for a few weeks at least, and this week’s episode was coming out of the events TNA Genesis. The episode was also live and the taped episodes will likely score somewhat lower numbers.
Thus far in 2026, TNA Impact is averaging a 0.035 demo rating and 172,000 viewers. The last year we have comparable ratings is 2024 when the first two weeks averaged a 0.01 and 67,000 viewers on AXS TV. However, comparing those two years are fraught for a number of reasons, including the change in networks and the hype put into the AMC premiere.
Again, we will have a clearer number of TNA Impact’s numbers after more weeks have passed.
