MLW confirms Fusion return date and time slot: ‘We’re planting our flag’
MLW Fusion has announced its return date, and it will air in a time slot MLW CEO Court Bauer refers to as “sacred ground.”
MLW Fusion will return on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 6:05 p.m. on YouTube and 10 p.m. on beIN Sports. It will be the first episode of the show to air since December 14, 2023.
“6:05 is sacred ground,” said Bauer in a press release. “That time slot belongs to the history of this sport as made famous by legendary Ted Turner. We’re not just bringing back a weekly show — we’re planting our flag and celebrating wrestling’s southern soul. MLW Fusion is back, it’s free, and it’s built for the fans who remember what Saturday night wrestling felt like.”
Fightful Select reported last week that Fusion was set to return, but a date was not revealed.
MLW has unaired 2026 tapings
MLW has taped multiple events in 2026 that have yet to air, which could potentially be used for new episodes of Fusion. These events include one held at Center Stage in Atlanta on March 14, as well as one taped from The Signal in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on May 9.
Up next, MLW will run three nights in a row from June 11 to June 13, with the June 11 event taking place at the Melrose Ballroom in New York City, and the June 12 and 13 events taking place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.
