Progress Wrestling is a Professional Wrestling company based in England. Founded in 2012, PROGRESS soon gained a loyal following with wrestling fans in England and beyond. While Progress initially had a policy of only occasionally bringing in wrestlers from outside the British Isles, said policy has become very relaxed as time has passed, with many famous wrestlers from around the globe appearing at the shows.

Progress is run by Jim Smallman, Glen Joseph and Jon Briley.

In 2017, Progress retired the shows that had been used to showcase their trainees and potentials (ENDVR and PTNTL) and replaced them with a new show called Freedom's Road, which featured matches with short backstage scenes of the wrestlers involved. In 2018, Freedom's Road got a second season, which focused on a group of trainees at the Projo and their matches, along with a supernatural plot of unknown intentions, and concentrated more on the stories.

In 2016 the company started a working relationship with WWE by holding qualifying matches for the Cruiserweight Classic. This grew into an agreement where UK based talent signed to WWE can still work for Progress around their NXT dates, with some restrictionnote Presently WWE talent is limited from working with people contracted to competing companies, such as NJPW wrestlers Zack Sabre Jr and Will Ospreay. In 2018 WWE launched a developmental offshoot called NXT UK featuring much of the same talent, and presently booked by Progress management.

At the same time it announced it would be staying on break until these measures were fully in place.
