deadline.com:

The UK’s Premier League soccer is to start producing and distributing its own content for the first time in two decades after ending its partnership with IMG.

The new Premier League in-house operation will launch in 2026, with more details coming in due course following today’s decision made at a Premier League shareholders meeting.

For the past 20 years, Premier League content production and distribution has been provided in partnership with IMG, operating as Premier League Productions (PLP).

The two will continue to deliver the next two Premier League seasons to broadcasters and said they “remain committed to providing a first-class viewing experience for fans around the world.” At present, PLP said it delivers 6,000 hours of content per season to 55 international broadcast partners covering 189 global markets, along with long-form content such as magazine shows.
