Step into the arena of sports design with Premier League Studios’ Creative Department, where ambition, artistry, and elite football competition collide.

Weekend and evening work may be required as well as travel to work with players and clubs across the Premier League.
Who we are
The Premier League is home to some of the most competitive and compelling football in the world. The League and its Clubs use the power and popularity of the competition to inspire fans, communities and partners in the UK and across the world. The Premier League brings people together from all backgrounds. It is a competition for everyone, everywhere and is available to watch in over 900 million homes in 189 countries.
In November 2024, the Premier League announced it was establishing a new in-house media operations business launching at the start of the 2026/27 Premier League Season. Premier League Studios will be responsible for all international media content production and distribution, providing a best-in-class content service to the Premier League’s partners and millions of passionate fans around the world.

- Collaborate with producers, editors, and designers across live, digital, and brand output-every brief is an opportunity to learn and make your mark.
Requirements for the role
- A portfolio or showreel that shines with creativity, design thinking, and promise - whether from College/University, professional work, or passion projects.
