'''The Fight Network''' (formerly '''The Wrestling Channel''', '''TWC''' and '''TWC Fight!''') was a [[free-to-air]] digital [[satellite television]] [[sports channel]] in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], devoted to airing [[Broadcast programming|programming]] related to [[boxing]], [[mixed martial arts]], [[pro-wrestling]] and other [[combat sport]]s. Launched on 15 March 2004, it was the first [[international]] channel from the Canadian-based [[Fight Network|The Fight Network]]. The UK & Ireland variant evolved from ''TWC Fight!'' (originally ''The Wrestling Channel'') after they acquired the channel.

The Fight Network ceased transmission on 1 December 2008 at 00:00 UTC. They were removed from Sky Digital's EPG at 06:00 UTC on 1 December. The former frequency of this channel on Eurobird, 11.260Ghz (Vertical, Symbol Rate 27.5 [[megabaud]], FEC 2/3) currently carries a standard colour bar test pattern.

As of July Fight Network has returned officially on TV as a block of programs currently on showcasetv maybe it's testing trials for bringing the real all day channel back or maybe not but it's back and with a new logo in between programming to boot.

The Fight Network in the UK is also online under the names GWN for On Demand Content and of course showcasetv online as it's an online tv channel as well as being on a sky box.

The new logo has a red background and a sort of interlocking FN with Fight Network text below.

So far the Fight Network Block is only showing old Impact, MMA and Classic St. Louis Wrestling out of what it shown so far listed under titled everything else is named Wrestling in listings at this moment in time.
