TNA Wrestling is making a last-minute adjustment to Bound For Glory 2026, and fans planning to watch the company’s biggest show of the year will need to tune in a little differently.

TNA announced that Bound For Glory will now officially begin at 4:30 PM ET on Sunday, October 11 from the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. The TNA Hall of Fame ceremony will take place immediately before the show at 4 PM ET. TNA explained the change while laying out the updated schedule for the night.

“TNA Wrestling confirmed today a minor change to the timing and format for the showcase event of the year, Bound For Glory, on Sunday, October 11, at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida.”

The Hall of Fame ceremony will kick things off at 4 PM ET, with ODB, The Amazing Red and Konnan all set to be inducted.

“4pm EST: TNA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, sponsored by iHeartRadio. TNA will induct three new members: ODB, The Amazing Red and Konnan.”

Then, just 30 minutes later, Bound For Glory itself will get underway.

“4:30pm EST: Bound For Glory starts. With so many must-see matches, including championship contests and bitter feuds brewing, more BFG is needed – and surprises are expected, too.”

TNA also teased plenty of star power for the show, name-dropping The Hardys, Nic Nemeth, Mustafa Ali, Moose, Leon Slater, Ricky Sosa, AJ Francis, Xia Brookside, Allie and more.

Ringside News has been tracking the build to TNA Bound For Glory 2026, including the return of the Call Your Shot Gauntlet and the growing X-Division Championship picture. The show is also set to feature Nic Nemeth defending the TNA World Championship against Leon Slater, while Xia Brookside will defend the Knockouts World Championship against Indi Hartwell.

The earlier start gives TNA even more room to load up its biggest night of the year, and the company is already teasing surprises on top of the packed card. Anyone planning to watch Bound For Glory live will want to be ready by 4 PM ET so they don’t miss the Hall of Fame ceremony before the action starts.
