DAZN HD 1 was launched on Sky in March and features premier boxing and combat sports, women’s football, eSports, extreme sports and sports documentaries. The televising of IMPACT! on DAZN 1 HD is part of a broader agreement between Anthem Sports Group and DAZN announced in November 2022.
“The UK fans have been among the most dedicated and passionate IMPACT Wrestling fans throughout our history. They have been clamoring for a return of Impact programming to TV, so we are very pleased to be on such an outstanding TV outlet as Sky UK via DAZN 1 HD,” said Scott D’Amore, President of IMPACT Wrestling. “We thank our partner, DAZN, and look forward bringing IMPACT Wrestling live to the UK very soon.”
DAZN 1 HD will also televise other IMPACT Wrestling programming across the UK and Ireland, including monthly specials, original shows and series, and additional content from IMPACT’s 5,000+ hour library. Since its inception in 2002, IMPACT Wrestling has established itself as one of the largest professional wrestling organisations in the world.
