Football and TV collabs of the past have yielded Ted Lasso, All or Nothing and The English Game, and the field is now set for another player.
Sony Pictures Television (Spt) and City Football Group (Cfg), the parent of English Premier League champions Manchester City, have struck a strategic deal to co-develop and produce scripted, non-fiction and kids programs for a global audience.
The plan will incorporate Cfg’s global network, sports expertise and access to football talent, facilities and its City Studios production division with Spt’s production smarts. Cfg’s main focus is Manchester City, who have dominated English football over the past decade and won the Champions League in a treble-winning season in 2022/23, but also has ownership stakes in New York City Fc, Melbourne City, Mumbai City, Troyes, Montevideo City Torque, Lommes, Bahia and Palermo and minorities in several other teams.
