The creation of the championship was announced on August 20, 2009 during a backstage segment on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA, now Impact Wrestling) primary television program TNA Impact!. Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won via the result of a scripted match. Sarita and Taylor Wilde were the inaugural champions. They won a four-week tournament to crown the first champions. The final champions were ODB and Eric Young, who held the titles for a record 478 days.
On the June 20, 2013 episode of Impact Wrestling, Knockouts Division Executive Brooke Hogan stripped ODB and Young of the title because Young is a male, despite the fact that they had been allowed to hold the title for the prior 478 days. This ultimately resulted in the titles being deactivated.
In October 2020 at Bound for Glory, Madison Rayne announced the return of the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championships.
