Unrivaled Partners with Mediapro North America to Create One-Stop-Shop in Miami for Inaugural Season

Company Known for its Expertise in Audiovisual, Content Production and Distribution Services Teams Up with League to Ensure Athletes and Fans Receive First-Class Experience

NEW YORK (November 13, 2024) – Today, professional women's basketball league Unrivaled and Mediapro North America announced a multi-year partnership to execute the production of the League and host the 2025 season in Miami, Florida. Together, the organizations are building a 129,981-square-foot, state-of-the-art production facility to host all Unrivaled games, highlighted by a compressed full-court stage built in collaboration with Wide Angle Group (WAG) for a building capacity of 850 and incorporating the latest digital technology. The facility will be equipped with training facilities, a childcare room, an athlete content creation hub, a fan zone area, office space, and a mobile production unit.

“We’re excited to partner with Mediapro North America and usher in a new era of women’s basketball, complemented by an unparalleled player and fan experience,” said Unrivaled President Alex Bazzell. “From the outset, Mediapro has understood our vision for this league, and the team has gone above and beyond to bring that vision to life.”

Located 6.9 miles from the Miami International Airport, the facility provides space and function, while Mediapro’s production technology will enable Unrivaled to share women’s basketball content and provide enhanced quality to fans at home and in-person. The full-service facility will provide the League and its athletes with a one-stop-shop from meeting rooms, training facilities and a cafeteria with nutritionists to a childcare room for the athletes’ families to use while they train.

“Unrivaled is thrilled to be able to bring women's professional basketball back to Miami for the first time in over two decades and contribute to the city's impressive sports lineage,” said Unrivaled Commissioner Micky Lawler. “Miami is steeped in a rich sports culture, with a passionate and vibrant fan base that supports its players and embraces excellence across all its teams. We look forward to making our mark on the court and in the community this season."

Mediapro’s production crew experts will be working simultaneously with Unrivaled and the media to provide video assets, pictures, and game highlights to expand the reach of all Unrivaled’s content. Mediapro is also working with the League’s media partner, TNT Sports, to seamlessly transmit every game from January to March.

“Partnering with Unrivaled allows us to deliver a transformative experience in women’s professional basketball,” said Irantzu Diez-Gamboa, CEO of Mediapro North America. “This collaboration is about more than just production—it’s about elevating the entire sport and bringing fans closer to the game. By building this state-of-the-art facility in Miami, we’re creating a dedicated home for Unrivaled that combines cutting-edge technology with unparalleled support for athletes, allowing them to focus on their performance while we ensure seamless, top-tier coverage for fans. We’re honored to play a role in championing women’s sports and helping Unrivaled reach new heights.”
