We compute the light axial-vector and tensor meson two-photon transition form factors in the soft-wall holographic model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the flavor-symmetric case. They are used to evaluate the axial-vector and tensor meson contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon via the hadronic light-by-light scattering process. As expected, these contributions are smaller than the one from pseudoscalar mesons. The result for axial-vector mesons is higher than the value found in other approaches.
