Impact Wrestling Launches New Paid Streaming Service
Impact Wrestling has launched a subscription video-on-demand service, the company announced Wednesday morning. In addition to 3,000 hours of on-demand content, the platform will stream live monthly premium network specials.
Priced at $7.99 per month, Impact Wrestling’s content library spans 17 years of its history and includes original series, reality shows, documentaries, and matches starring wrestling legends Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, and Booker T.
Starting May 1, Impact Plus is available on all major over-the-top (OTT) platforms and devices, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. The annual subscription costs slightly less than the per-month fee, with the yearly total being $71.99.

The special will include matches between Johnny Impact and Taya Valkyrie vs. Eddie Edwards and Alisha Edwards, Michael Elgin vs. Willie Mack, and Moose vs. Ken Broadway among others. The wrestling organization’s four major annual pay-per-view events, including Slammiversary and Bound For Glory, will also be available to purchase on the service. Users will receive three months of free access to the service with every pay-per-view purchase.
