GFW Global Championship, numit și Impact Global Championship, este un campionat de lupte profesionale la nivel mondial deținut și promovat de Global Force Wrestling, cunoscută și sub numele de Impact Wrestling. Acesta este campionatul principal al promoției. La fel ca majoritatea campionatelor de lupte profesionale, titlul este câștigat prin rezultatul unui meci predeterminat.
Înainte de crearea campionatului, promovarea, apoi cunoscută sub numele de Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), a controlat campionatul mondial NWA World Championship, printr-un acord cu National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). În 2007, sa încheiat acordul dintre TNA și NWA, ceea ce a condus la crearea Campionatului mondial la TNA. Campionatul a fost dezvăluit la 14 mai 2007 la filmarea primului program de televiziune TNA, Impact !, difuzat la 17 mai 2007. Campionul inaugural a fost Kurt Angle, care deține și recordul pentru cele mai multe domnii cu șase.
Când TNA și-a schimbat numele și a devenit Impact Wrestling în martie 2017, titlul a fost redenumit la scurt timp pentru a reflecta schimbarea. După ce Impact Wrestling a fost rebrandat la GFW mai târziu în acel an, titlul a fost unificat cu GFW Global Championship la Slammiversary XV și a devenit Unified GFW World Heavyweight Championship. În urma Destination X, titlul a luat numele GFW Global Championship și a păstrat fosta linie de TNA.
