New Japan Pro Wrestling issued a statement on Twitter on Friday to confirm that their programming will not air on TV broadcast in the United States in 2020. This also includes WrestleKingdom 14.
In response to US fan queries
There are currently no plans for TV broadcast of NJPW events in 2020 (WK14 included) in the US.
Thank you for joining us on TV so far. We invite you to join @njpwworld for all the action in 2020, LIVE and in English!https://t.co/ldAvP7y3CH#njpw pic.twitter.com/C0gV2JuJ37

NJPW has aired on AXS TV in the US since January 2015. AXS TV was acquired by Impact Wrestling’s parent company, Anthem Sports & Entertainment, in the fall, which could be cause for the departure.
NJPW will be expanding in the US throughout 2020 with more live events across 21 states.
