Soccer Saturday Set Immortalised in Ted Lasso
Our virtual set designs often appear beyond their original broadcasts, featuring in various film and TV productions—commonly seen as background in news reports or sports coverage scenes. These appearances underline the versatility and recognisable quality of our work in broadcast design.
One notable example is the digital backdrop created for Soccer Saturday, which was immortalised on screen in the acclaimed TV series Ted Lasso. The show follows Roy Kent, a former professional footballer turned somewhat awkward and blunt TV pundit. Throughout the series, Roy appears against the distinctive three-sided backdrop design we developed for Soccer Saturday.
This design was a mainstay on Sky Sports for over a decade, providing a modern, immersive environment around the presentation desk. Its inclusion in Ted Lasso highlights how our broadcast design can transcend sports and live TV to become part of wider cultural storytelling.
