The 2013 Lockdown was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on March 10, 2013, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.[1] It was the ninth under the Lockdown chronology and second event in the 2013 TNA PPV schedule. The event broke ground for TNA's largest domestic attendance record of 7,200 fans, beating their previous record from Slammiversary 2012.[2]

From 2005 to 2012, the theme of Lockdown events featured every match taking place inside a Steel Cage. Beginning with this year's event, Lockdown was modified to featuring standard matches, and cage matches were reserved only for the high profile bouts. Lockdown was also moved to March for the first time since its inception in 2005. Eight matches were featured on the card. In the main event, Bully Ray defeated Jeff Hardy in a Steel Cage match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.[3] It would later be available on Impact Plus in May 2019.[4]
