FanDuel Sports Network laying off dozens of employees as company closes metro Atlanta offices

February 21, 2026 - 03:03

The FanDuel Sports Network is undergoing a significant restructuring, resulting in the closure of its metro Atlanta offices and the elimination of dozens of positions. This decisive move follows the recent termination of its content partnership with the Atlanta Braves, a cornerstone of its local operations.

The network, which produces live game broadcasts and original programming, had established a substantial presence in the area to support its Braves coverage. With that contract now ended, the company has determined that maintaining the physical office and its associated staff is no longer viable. Employees across various departments, including production and on-air talent, are affected by the layoffs.

Company leadership stated the decision was a difficult but necessary strategic shift to align resources with current business needs. The closure signals a sharp pivot away from its previous localized production model in Atlanta. While the network will continue its national operations and content offerings, the move underscores the volatile nature of the sports media landscape, where programming rights directly dictate operational footprints and employment stability. The affected employees are being offered severance packages and outplacement services.
