MAPLE LEAF PRO Wrestling is taking MLP Mayhem beyond Canada, with the new weekly television series set to air free in French through FIGHT NATION.

FIGHT NATION issued a press release to Ringside News announcing an extension of its broadcast partnership with Scott D’Amore’s promotion. The expanded agreement will bring MLP Mayhem to French-speaking viewers beginning Thursday, July 16, 2026.

The international rollout comes one day after MLP Mayhem premieres in Canada on TSN on Wednesday, July 15. The series will then become available through MyAEW in more than 100 countries, while FIGHT NATION carries the French-language version free through its international distribution. MLP President Scott D’Amore said the expanded agreement reflects the company’s goal of getting its programming in front of wrestling viewers around the world.

“We’re extremely pleased to expand our relationship with FIGHT NATION. The premiere of MLP Mayhem on TSN marks an important milestone for our company, and launching internationally the very next day through both MyAEW and FIGHT NATION reflects our commitment to bringing MAPLE LEAF PRO to wrestling fans around the world.”

MLP Mayhem will feature Canadian wrestlers alongside international talent connected to promotions around the world. The weekly format gives MAPLE LEAF PRO a regular television presence instead of relying entirely on individual live events.

The agreement also adds another professional wrestling series to FIGHT NATION’s lineup, which already includes boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai and French savate boxing. FIGHT NATION CEO Agnès Puons said the company is proud to make the series available to French-speaking viewers without an additional charge.

“We are delighted to continue growing our partnership with MAPLE LEAF PRO. Adding MLP Mayhem to our weekly programming further strengthens our commitment to delivering premium combat sports content, and we are proud to make the series available free to French-speaking wrestling fans throughout our international distribution.”

FIGHT NATION is available in 196 countries and also operates a 24-hour linear channel in France through the Free television provider on channel 196.

The expanded distribution gives MLP Mayhem three major outlets during its opening week. Canadian viewers will receive the TSN premiere, MyAEW will handle the wider international launch, and FIGHT NATION will provide French-language access.

MAPLE LEAF PRO has continued building its television and international footprint under D’Amore, and the new FIGHT NATION agreement gives the company another way to reach viewers outside its home market. The real test will be whether MLP Mayhem can turn that wider availability into a consistent weekly audience.
