List of National Wrestling Alliance territories

{{Short description|None}}

File:NWA Professional Wrestling Territories.png

Formed in 1948, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) governing body was the largest organization in professional wrestling until the 1980s Rock 'n' Wrestling Era. Under the control of the NWA Board of Directors (consisting of various prominent, regional promoters), the governing body oversaw wrestling's national territory system, a system which saw promotions (referred to as "territories") recognize one world heavyweight champion, participate in talent exchanges, and collectively protect the territorial integrity of NWA members. Unlike modern independent promotions, the territories were regarded as major promotions and often collaborated with other NWA members.

In 1993,{{cite web |title=1993 - 2012 |url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/nwa1993.html}} the NWA was reorganized following the withdrawals of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), with the majority of new NWA territories being small independent promotions. As other territories withdrew from the governing body, the NWA would discontinue its memberships in August 2012 and adopted a licensing model.{{cite web|title=NWA Lawsuit Settled, Promotion to Transfer to New Corporation|url=http://www.pwinsider.com/article/70396/nwa-lawsuit-settled-promotion-to-transfer-to-new-corporation.html|publisher=PWInsider.com}} In 2017, the NWA was purchased by Billy Corgan's Lightning One, Inc., which abandoned the licensing model and gradually transformed the NWA from a governing body to a stand-alone wrestling promotion.{{cite web|url =https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/report-nwa-roh-no-longer-working-together-nick-aldis-no-longer-advertised-summer-supercard|title=Report: NWA & ROH No Longer Working Together; Nick Aldis Not Advertised For Summer Supercard|access-date=August 4, 2019|work=Fightful}}{{citation |url=https://lastwordonprowrestling.com/2019/07/24/nwa-looking-to-join-weekly-tv-line-up/|title=NWA Looking To Join Weekly TV Line Up |publisher=Last Word on Wrestling|host=Jamie Greer|date=July 24, 2019|time=01:11:50|access-date=July 19, 2013 }}{{citation |url=https://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/nwa-tapings-planned-series-show/|title=NWA Announces First TV Tapings For Planned Series|date=August 7, 2019|access-date=August 13, 2019 }}

In October 2023, while still under the ownership of Billy Corgan's Lightning One, Inc., the NWA reintroduced the territory system. The first NWA-affiliated promotion introduced under the new system was NWA Exodus Pro Midwest, owned by then NWA World's Heavyweight Champion Michael "EC3" Hutter.{{cite web |date=October 9, 2023 |title=Official Press Release on the return of the territory system beginning with @ExoProWrestling! |url=https://twitter.com/nwa/status/1711396114543399095 |accessdate=October 9, 2023 |work=National Wrestling Alliance on X}}
