Bound for Glory is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced every October by the American Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. The event was created in 2005 to be their premiere event of the year, similar to the company's main rival World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and its WrestleMania event. As of October 2009, four events have occurred under the chronology.

Since its inception in 2005, all events have been held in the United States. It has been held in four different U.S. states, where every event has been held in an indoor arena. Each event featured wrestlers from TNA competing in various professional wrestling match types.

Since the inaugural event, four championship matches have taken place in the main event. In all four bouts the championship was lost, which means no one has retained a championship in the main event at Bound for Glory thus far. Sting has competed in the last three main event match matches, in which he has won either one of two world heavyweight championships TNA has controlled—the NWA World Heavyweight, owned by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) governing body, or the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

All events thus far have been met with mostly positive reviews. Bound for Glory pay-per-views, like other professional wrestling shows, feature matches that are prearranged by the promotion's writing staff. These matches are non-competitive performances that combine elements of catch wrestling, mock combat, and theatre.

Leading up to the pay-per-view, wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match at the event. Bound for Glory was the twelfth of the thirteen event titles TNA has produced under. Each event consist of a main event and an undercard that feature championship matches and other various matches.

The first event was held in October 2005. There have been a total of four events under the chronology to take place as of October 2009, with the fifth installment scheduled to take place in October 2009. The 2006 edition was the first TNA three hour monthly PPV event to take place outside of the TNA Impact!Zone at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth Township, Michigan.

The TNA Impact!Zone is a sound stage owned by Universal Studios and operated within Universal Studios Florida; it is the home to TNA's primary television program TNA Impact!, from which the soundstage gets its name, and is where TNA holds most of it events. In 2007, TNA held Bound for Glory again outside of the Impact!Zone, this time in Duluth, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, at the Gwinnett Center on October 14, 2007.

This trait continued into 2008 at Bound for Glory IV, which took place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois on October 12. Bound for Glory IV was also the first event under the chronology to have roman numerals featured in its title.
