LOS ANGELES (July 24, 2024) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Inc., a global multi-platform media company, announced today that TNA WrestlingÒ has expanded its successful partnership with Warner Bros.

The exclusive multi-year agreement, encompassing hundreds of hours of content, extends TNA’s offerings, broadcasting all-new original series, iconic matchups, PPV events, and more throughout India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

The deal builds upon the agreement previously announced in March, which featured eight new TNA+ Presents specials each year, as well as all-new episodes of the tailor-made Hindi-language series Pehlwani Patakha—showcasing top highlights from TNA iMPACT!, as well as groundbreaking moments from TNA’s storied legacy.

Now, in addition to these popular offerings, Eurosport India viewers will be able to enjoy even more hard-hitting TNA action, with over 200 hours of original programming annually from TNA’s complete first-run output.

Highlights include access to legacy series such as Epics, TNA’s Greatest Matches, Legends, British Boot Camp, and TNA Unfinished Business, as well as classic pay-per-views, and much more.
