History and development

The series airs during FS1's 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (ET) time slot, with the late morning slot previously filled by Undisputed.[2] That show experienced the departure of both of its longtime hosts, Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless, in 2023 and 2024, respectively. After Bayless announced his departure from the series and FS1 altogether, the network announced it would be reworking its programming schedule.[3] [4]

Hosted from Los Angeles,[1] The Facility will be led into by Breakfast Ball and itself serve as a lead-in to The Herd with Colin Cowherd.[5] The Facilitys hosts are all former NFL players: Emmanuel Acho, Chase Daniel, James Jones, and LeSean McCoy. Acho, Jones, and McCoy previously served as co-hosts on Speak. The Facility serves as Daniel's debut with FS1,[6] aside from a guest appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd a few months prior.[7] The series premiered on September 3, 2024.[8]
