Major League Soccer has a new home for its production team at WWE headquarters.
Variety is reporting MLS is moving into a new studio at WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. The agreement is part of a renewal of a pact with IMG. WWE parent company TKO Group Holdings recently reached an agreement with the Endeavor agency to acquire IMG. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
“With the incredible momentum and excitement around the league, we are thrilled to further our partnership with IMG to support our vision of elevating production, creating new viewing opportunities, and pushing the sports broadcast landscape into the future,” said Seth Bacon, executive vice president of media for MLS, in a statement issued to Variety.
The WWE facility, The Studios at WWE, is a 30,000-square-foot production facility that houses five studios and a vast amount of production amenities. MLS Productions will use the production hub for MLS programming in English and Spanish, allowing for the addition of new programming in the upcoming season.
The new multi-year partnership between MLS and IMG will allow the continued production of live match and studio programming for more than 600 annual games. The content will air on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, which debuted in 2023.
Titan Towers, Former WWE HQ, Sold
The original WWE Headquarters building known as “Titan Towers” has been sold, according to a new report.
Per Paul Schott of CT Insider, the original WWE Headquarters has been sold to MB Financial Group for $3.75 million. The report notes that the new owners, a real estate firm, plan to convert the building into an apartment complex.
“The location is superb,” Michael Massimino, CEO and managing partner of MB Financial, said. “It’s on the Stamford-Darien line, and it overlooks Long Island Sound and the Noroton River. The views of Long Island Sound really make this property unique.”
Titan Towers was opened in 1991, and the company stayed there until 2023. WWE memorably taped the Money in the Bank matches at the building in 2020.
