TNA Wrestling's flagship show "Impact Wrestling" could soon be without a home -- Spike TV quietly let the league know it's not renewing their TV contract … TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the deal ... tell us Spike execs contacted TNA President Dixie Carter late last week to break the news -- and the following day Carter informed members of her inner circle.

TNA's current deal with Spike reportedly runs through October. It's unclear at this point when "Impact Wrestling" will stop airing on Spike.

We're told there's no bad blood, and Spike gave TNA such advance notice so it would have time to shop for a new TV deal.

TNA's show debuted on Spike TV in October 2005 -- and helped the league rise to #2 on the wrestling scene … behind the WWE.

We've called TNA and Spike for comment ... so far, no word back.

Well if no one picks them up that's the final nail in the coffin. I guess we get them until Oct, after that who knows.

I'm gonna say, at this point, no ones gonna want to pick them up. Maybe some subpar networks, TruTV or something

Crazy that the deal expires right around Bound for Glory time. That's going to be one weird event.

I never really watched TNA, but there's no denying that these are awful news.

I'll bet Vince is laughing maniacally in front of a mirror as we speak.

Can't say I'm not surprised. I hate it for them but they done it to themselves.
