ESPN has reached a multi-year contract extension with ESPN soccer reporter and host Alexis Nunes to continue in her role as one of the lead reporters for ESPN’s European soccer coverage. As part of her new agreement, Nunes will continue her expert reporting from the pitch and in the studio across ESPN and ESPN+ platforms.
Under the new contract, Nunes will have an expanded role on ESPN’s LaLiga coverage. Each week, Nunes will travel throughout Spain and serve as the English and Spanish-language pitch-side reporter for LaLiga on ESPN and ESPN+. She will also continue to co-host ESPN FC, the daily soccer television news and information program, and serve as a contributor to various studio shows across ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN Deportes.
“From Kingston, Jamaica to the world, that’s where ESPN has taken me and I am thrilled to continue on this amazing journey,” said Nunes. “As the daughter of an El Salvadorian mom and a Jamaican dad, I grew up in a household where soccer and cricket were part of my childhood, and now to be right in the middle of the action, bringing fans all the drama from the pitch is a dream come true.”
In addition to her reporting and co-host duties, Nunes will continue to cover major events for ESPN, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“Alexis is an integral part of our coverage of LaLiga across ESPN and ESPN+ platforms,” said Gisela Leyva, coordinating producer II, ESPN. “She is a versatile talent with deep knowledge of the game and has an incredible ability to switch seamlessly between English and Spanish. Those attributes will serve us well as we continue our commitment to provide distinctive coverage of LaLiga to soccer fans in both languages.”
