Major League Soccer Moves Production To WWE Stuidos

Major League Soccer (MLS) is moving its entire production operation to WWE’s state-of-the-art studios in Stamford, Connecticut. MLS Season Pass, the league’s Apple TV-based streaming service, will now be produced at The Studios at WWE. The 30,000 square-foot facility opened in April 2024.

Speaking to Sports Business Journal, Seth Bacon, MLS EVP of Media, addressed the move.

“The goal of moving to this new facility is to get everyone into one place, everyone working together, focused on how we produce the same amount of content at higher quality.”

Beyond MLS Season Pass, The Studios at WWE will also oversee graphics production for over 600 live matches per year, in addition to short-form content for MLS social media channels and other league content partners. This move comes amid MLS’ ten-year broadcasting deal with Apple Inc that was announced in 2022 and began with the 2023 season.

For decades, WWE has remained on the forefront of improving its production, including moving to HD in 2008. In 2024, Lee Fitting replaced Kevin Dunn as WWE’s Head of Production, and his work has been praised by fans and insiders alike.

MLS teaming up with WWE’s production powerhouse is an unexpected crossover but will see the soccer league benefit from WWE’s high quality level of production. It remains to be seen if WWE and MLS experience any crossover on-screen with this move to The Studios but fans know not to count anything out in this current era for the promotion.
