For Telemundo’s 2026 FIFA World Cup coverage, the studio was designed less as a fixed location than as a production system.
The network’s virtual environment, built around chroma key, Unreal Engine and real-time graphics workflows, allowed Telemundo to place its Miami-based studio operation within the visual context of the tournament’s 16 host cities across the United States, Mexico and Canada. The approach gave the production team a way to localize coverage across a multi-country World Cup without building physical sets in each market or relying on a single centralized studio look.
The studio package extended the broader World Cup design system developed with Gameday Creative, but its execution depended on Telemundo’s internal real-time graphics team, led by Fabian Albarracin, director of real-time graphics at Telemundo.
