The ROH World Television Championship is a professional wrestling world television championship in the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion. With the introduction of the ROH World Television Championship, the television type championship returned to national exposure.
There has been a total of thirteen reigns shared between eleven champions. The first champion was crowned on March 5, 2010, when Eddie Edwards defeated Davey Richards in the finals of a tournament.
The current champion is Marty Scurll, who is in his first reign. Jay Lethal's second reign is the longest in the title's history. During that reign, Lethal also won the ROH World Championship in a Title vs. Title match at Best in the World 2015.
The creation of the ROH World Television Championship was announced via ROH's official website on January 20, 2010. An eight-man single elimination tournament was then planned to determine the inaugural champion. The tournament was to start on February 4 and conclude on February 6, 2010 at The Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the tapings of ROH's television program Ring of Honor Wrestling. Regarding the new championship addition, ROH President Cary Silkin said, "We’ve been talking about adding a secondary championship for some time. Not only will this give the athletes of Ring of Honor another tremendous goal to work towards, it will also give our great partner, HDNet, a championship that is sure to be defended on the television program. We’re happy to publicly give thanks to HDNet for giving us the chance to add this title to the television show...".
