The Progress Atlas Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the British professional wrestling promotion Progress Wrestling. Initially, the title was destinated exclusively for wrestlers weighing over 205 pounds (the cruiserweight weight limit) in weight, but the respective rule was scrapped in time.[1]
On 27 February 2019, Progress announced that there would be a unification match between the Atlas and World championships at Super Strong Style 16 on 5 May of that year, with Walter winning and thus unifying the two titles.[2] On 21 July 2019, Progress announced that the Atlas Championship had been retired, to be replaced with the upcoming Proteus Championship. Luke Jacobs is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated Jonah in a tournament final to reactivated title at Chapter 133: Stop Motion Skeleton Battle on 18 April 2022, in Camden Town, London. Rampage Brown was the first champion after winning a tournament.
The inaugural tournament of the championship was held under a two-block system with the winner of each one advancing to the finals. For the block matches, two points were awarded for a win and one point for a draw. The tournament began at PROGRESS Chapter 28: Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want on April 10, 2016 and ended at Chapter 36: We're Gonna Need a Bigger Room... Again on September 25.[3]
