Qvest is commissioning a new media production facility in London to allow England’s Premier League to bring all its international coverage in house. The facility will deliver 380 matches annually from the start of the 2026/27 season.
Jawid Mahmoodzada, MD, Qvest Europe, said: “It’s a state-of-the-art, mainly software-based environment, leveraging cloud technology where it makes sense as well as on premises production. It’s a highly flexible environment, providing a platform that can easily adapt to any future requirements.”
Paul Molnar, Chief Media Officer at The Premier League, said: “Bringing our media operations in-house supported by Qvest marks a major step forward in how we deliver and innovate our global broadcast offering. The new production facility will give us full creative and operational control, allowing us to respond faster to platform needs, engage our audiences more deeply, and set new benchmarks for content quality to our partners and millions of fans around the world.”
“It’s a very demanding project,” with Qvest acting as media consultant and master systems integrator, managing the entire transformation, design and technical implementation for Premier League Studios, added Mahmoodzada.
