Premier League signs deal with Rezzil

The Premier League has inked a four-year deal with virtual reality (VR) software developer Rezzil.

The partnership will see the Manchester-based VR tech company work with the Premier League to develop a VR game, which will be launched later in 2024. 

Players will be put directly on the pitch and in the shoes of their favourite Premier League stars, providing them a unique opportunity to recreate iconic Premier League goals and more.

Rezzil’s software will also be integrated directly with the Premier League’s match data to allow the clubs to “adapt the software to re-create match scenarios and replay them through a VR headset”.

Will Brass, Chief Commercial Officer, Premier League, commented:

We are excited about the ongoing development of VR technology within football. Rezzil are highly respected in the field and have developed an excellent reputation with training products that are being used by many Premier League clubs alongside leading sports teams and leagues around the world.  The applications for this technology are expanding quickly and this partnership will see the Premier League working with Rezzil on products that can help redefine player, fan and viewer experiences.

Andy Etches, Co-Founder, Rezzil, said:

We are thrilled to embark on this new partnership with the Premier League. By combining our expertise in VR technology with the unparalleled excitement of Premier League football, we are looking forward to supporting the Premier League’s fan and player engagement ambitions. Working hand in hand together, we’re poised to bring VR technology to football in ways never seen before.”
