Sacrifice 2006 marked the first time since Sacrifice 2005 that the X Division Championship was not defended at a monthly PPV.
The live feed of Sacrifice 2006 froze near the end of the Liger-Williams match, and freed up after Liger won the match. The replay feeds did not have this problem, and the ending of the match was shown at TNAWrestling.com for free to make up for it.
Gayda was pregnant at the time of the pay-per-view and was fired by Gail Kim to explain her absence.
Sacrifice was the first TNA event to be screened in Australia.
