In 2015, ROH TV was paired up with TNA Impact on U.S. TV via Destination America.

In 2016, the two shows are being paired up in Canada.

ROH announced Monday they signed a “multi-year” deal with Fight Network for ROH’s weekly show to air in Canada on Tuesday nights at 11:00 pm EST. The premiere date is next Tuesday, April 26.

ROH will follow TNA Impact airing at 9:00 pm EST on Fight Network.

“Ring of Honor has long been touted as a worldwide leader in professional wrestling and we’re thrilled with the opportunity to finally bring a weekly series to Canadian fans,” said Chad Midgley, VP of Fight Network. “Over the past decade, ROH has staged plenty of five-star matches that will go down in history as some of the best. Its focus on in-ring quality, attention to detail and talent development is outstanding, making it a perfect fit for our stacked professional wrestling block on Tuesday nights.”

“Ring of Honor is honored and excited to bring our product to the Fight Network,” said Joe Koff, Chief Operating Officer of Ring of Honor Wrestling. “For many years, we’ve produced live shows for our Canadian fans and now we are thrilled to provide the ability to watch Ring of Honor wrestling on their television, in addition to online at ROHWrestling.com and on our YouTube channel.”
