TNA Lockdown (2026)

The 2026 Lockdown was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It took place on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at Credit Union 1 Arena in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It was the 13th event under the Lockdown chronology. This event was the first Lockdown since 2016 and the first held as a pay-per-view event since 2014. The event's central theme is that the entire card is contested inside a steel cage. Beyond standard cage matches, the event frequently features specialized variations, most notably the signature Lethal Lockdown match. Eleven matches were contested at the event, including two on the pre-show and one dark match. In the main event, The Nemeths (TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth) defeated The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) in a Steel Cage tornado tag team match to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship. After the match, Leon Slater – who regained the TNA X-Division Championship against Cedric Alexander in a Last Man Standing Steel Cage match earlier that night – invoked Option C to face Nemeth for the TNA World Championship at Bound for Glory, subsequently vacating the TNA X-Division Championship. In other prominent matches, The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, and Alisha Edwards) defeated Ricky Sosa, Fabian Aichner, KC Navarro, and Jada Stone in a Lethal Lockdown match, and Mustafa Ali defeated Jason Hotch in a Steel Cage match to win the TNA International Championship. The event also featured the TNA return of Kiera Hogan as well as the TNA debut of AJ Styles' son Avery Styles.
