Premier League to establish new international broadcast production HQ at Olympia in central London

The Premier League is moving its new inhouse production operation into London’s Olympia

The Premier League has confirmed it is set to build a new international production department at London’s 140 year old icon, Olympia.

From the beginning of the 2026/2027 season following an extensive fit-out the Premier League will launch its new inhouse media operations business – Premier League Studios – at One Olympia, taking over 73,000 square feet within the regenerated Olympia’s new office building.

Andy Beale recently joined Premier League Studios as its new director of technology, where he will help the League to further its broadcasting ambitions.

Premier League Studios will be responsible for all international media content production and distribution.

The Premier League is the most-watched football league in the world and one of the UK’s biggest global exports, broadcast in 189 countries to 900 million homes around the world. The move reflects the League’s continued growth and evolving production needs, as it brings all its international media content production and distribution in house.

The Premier League has made a 20 year long commitment to residing at Olympia, which represents a long term investment not just in infrastructure, but in a location that fits both its technical requirements and also puts its teams and talent in the heart of London.

One Olympia is part of the wider 14 acre redevelopment of Olympia being delivered by Yoo Capital and Deutsche Finance International. The One Olympia office building will house flexible, interactive spaces alongside some of the largest rooftop terraces in London. Designed to meet all the requirements of modern workspaces as well as next generation media production, Olympia offers an innovative central London alternative to traditional facilities typically located out of town.

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 inhouse 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.”

With opening starting later this year, Olympia will be a vibrant, multi-purpose destination leveraging its heritage as a showcase to bring together the very best of business, innovation, entertainment, hospitality and culture. The transformed Olympia will retain its iconic heritage exhibition spaces, which will be complemented by:

• A 1,575 seat theatre – the largest purpose-built theatre in London for almost 50 years ago
• A 4,000-capacity music venue
• A new International Convention Centre
• Over 30 restaurants, bars, and eateries, with confirmed operators including Incipio and D3 Collective
• Two new hotels – Hyatt Regency London Olympia and citizenM London Olympia
• A boutique gym – operated by 1Rebel
• A new co-educational secondary school, Wetherby Pembridge
• 2.5 acres of new public realm, including the pedestrianised Olympia Way which will be animated with a year-round enlivenment programme
• 550,000 sq ft of office space at One Olympia with ambitious sustainability credentials, accompanied by expansive rooftop terraces and with amenities including a communal lounge that will be home to a private members’ offering
