Premier League moves media HQ to Olympia
The Premier League has announced it will move its international media operations to a new headquarters at Olympia, marking a milestone in its shift to fully in-house content production.
From the start of the 2026/2027 season, the English top-flight will launch Premier League Studios, its new media business, within One Olympia, an office development at the heart of the £1.3bn regeneration of the historic London destination.
In November 2024, the Premier League announced it would move its entire media operations in-house, ending its 20-year partnership with IMG after the 2025/26 season. The decision was unanimously agreed upon by all shareholders.
Following the move, the league will no longer leverage IMG’s technology or expertise in broadcast rights negotiations. This change follows a 17% rise in broadcast revenue, valued at £12.25bn for the next three years.
Olympia is designed to blend business, innovation, entertainment and hospitality. The 14-acre site features its heritage exhibition spaces while introducing a 1,575-seat theatre, a 4,000-capacity music venue, an international convention centre, two new hotels, more than 30 bars and restaurants, a boutique gym, and a new secondary school.
One Olympia, where Premier League Studios will be based, offers 550,000 sq ft of office space, rooftop terraces, sustainability credentials and other amenities including a private members’ lounge.
Paul Molnar, Chief Media Officer, the Premier League, said, “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.”
