GameDay Productions has named Kayla Burton as host of the upcoming TV series She's in the Game, launching Fall 2025, where she'll spotlight rising female athletes and help introduce the next generation of sports legends.
DALLAS, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GameDay Productions is proud to announce that dynamic sports journalist and former Division I athlete Kayla Burton will step into the spotlight as host of the highly anticipated new TV series, She's in the Game, set to debut in national broadcast syndication this fall.
Created to spotlight the rise of female athletes and amplify their voices on and off the field, She's in the Game will deliver stories of talent, resilience, and the future of women's sports through a fresh, unapologetic lens. Leading that charge is Burton, whose career as a multi-platform reporter and on-camera talent spans ESPN, NFL Network, and most recently, NBC Sports Boston.
"Kayla Burton embodies everything She's in the Game is about—enthusiasm, talent, authenticity, and a deep understanding of the game on and off the court," said Jerome Butler, Executive Producer of She's in the Game. "Her presence is powerful, her storytelling is magnetic, and her background as an elite athlete, coach, and sports journalist makes her the perfect voice to lead this new generation of coverage."
Burton is no stranger to the grind. A standout guard at Lehigh University and part of a powerhouse sports family—her grandfather, Ron Burton, was the first-ever pick of the Boston Patriots, and her sister Veronica currently plays in the WNBA—Kayla brings generational insight into what it takes to compete at the highest levels.
"I'm honored to be a part of She's in the Game because we're getting to witness legends in the making," said Burton. "This platform matters. The timing matters. These athletes absolutely deserve the spotlight… and one day we'll look back at these girls' careers and say, we were there at the beginning."
She's in the Game is set to debut in fall 2025 as part of the 2025–2026 broadcast syndication season and is already cleared in over 100 Million homes. More details to be announced in the coming months.
