ESPN consolidates West Coast production at NFL Network facility
Summary

ESPN is finalizing the closure of its Los Angeles Production Center at L.A. Live, ending a 17-year presence in downtown Los Angeles. The studio operations will move to the NFL Network facility in Inglewood, complementing NFL Network and NFL RedZone. Approximately 160 employees will relocate with no planned layoffs. This consolidation follows ESPN's acquisition of NFL Media assets earlier this year and marks a significant integration of operations. Future productions, including NBA and WNBA shows, are expected to originate from the new facility as momentum builds ahead of Super Bowl LXI in February 2027.
