History

It was announced at Chapter 9 that beginning in November 2013 there would begin a series of matches to determine the first Progress Tag Team champions. The champions were crowned at Chapter 12, the second anniversary show, in March 2014. As with the Progress Championship not being a conventional championship belt, the Progress Tag Team Championship was originally represented by a shield with the Progress eagle on the front. The shield splits into two, one for each championship holder.

At Chapter 46 the Tag Team shields were replaced with traditional strap title belts, with the design on the front plate of each belt representing the defunct Tag shields.

Reigns

As of September 4, 2025, there have been a total of 31 reigns shared between 20 different teams composed of 40 distinctive individual champions. The inaugural champions were the FSU (Mark Andrews and Eddie Dennis).

The current champions are Lykos Gym (Kid Lykos and Kid Lykos II), who are in their second reign as a team. They defeated previous champions Sunshine Machine (Chuck Mambo and TK Cooper) on 29 June 2025 at Chapter 181: Far From Ordinary People in London, England.
