In-house Premier League Studios will be housed in Kensington when it launches in 2026
The Premier League’s in-house international production arm, Premier League Studios, will be housed at Olympia London.
Premier League Studios will launch in 2026, when the Premier League’s joint venture with IMG, Premier League Productions, comes to an end. Premier League Productions is currently based at IMG Studios in Stockley Park, delivering Premier League matches and other content to over 180 broadcasters worldwide.
Premier League Studios will take 73,000 sq ft of space at the regenerated One Olympia office building, in Kensington, London, in a 20-year deal. Olympia London is currently being regenerated by Yoo Capital and Deutsche Finance International, and One Olympia will house over 550,000 sq ft of office space as part of this - alongside other additions such as a 1,575 seat theatre, a 4,000 seat music venue, two new hotels, an international convention centre, over 30 restaurants and bars, and more.
Paul Molnar, chief media officer at the Premier League, said: “We are excited to be moving to Olympia in 2026 as part of our plans to establish a new in-house media operations business. Olympia will provide Premier League Studios with state-of-the-art offices and facilities that will help us create a best-in-class content service for our broadcast partners and millions of passionate fans around the world.”
Lloyd Lee, co-founder and managing partner at Yoo Capital, said: “The Premier League is a global institution at the cutting edge of sport and media, and we are incredibly proud they have chosen Olympia as their new broadcast home. It is a powerful endorsement of our vision to create a new kind of urban destination bringing together creativity, innovation and business, for the best talent to do their best work.”
John Hitchcox, chairman at Yoo Capital, added: “Olympia has been a major landmark in London for almost 140 years and, as custodians of this iconic site, we are now working with our partners to write its next chapter as a global showcase. Premier League will join an exciting line-up of already announced partners who are all at the very top of their game and we can’t wait for Londoners and visitors from all over the world to get a taste of it all.”
Frank Roccogrande, co-managing partner at Deutsche Finance International, added: “As we approach the start of Olympia’s phased opening, we are thrilled to welcome yet another world-class partner. The Premier League captivates millions of fans all around the world and we are delighted to have them on board.”
This news comes shortly after former BT Sport chief engineer and head of innovation Andy Beale was appointed as the Premier League’s director of technology.
