Playboy relocates from Los Angeles to Miami: New HQ and club announced
Anna Wintour steps down after 36 years as Vogue editor-in-chief
Anna Wintour steps down as editor-in-chief of Vogue, a position she held since 1988. She remains in a global role at Condé Nast.
One of the most well-known and controversial media brands is making Florida its new home.
Playboy announced on Aug. 13 that it will relocate its global corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to Florida.
In a press release, Playboy officials said the move reflects the company’s commitment to aligning with one of the nation’s most dynamic, culturally relevant and business-friendly cities — Miami Beach. It also stated that this decision comes as they aim to reclaim their position as “one of the world’s most enduring and influential lifestyle and media brands.”
“Miami Beach is among the most dynamic and culturally influential cities in the country, making it the ideal home for Playboy’s next chapter,” Ben Kohn, CEO of Playboy, Inc., said in a statement.
“Our vision is to create world-class content and experiences that resonate globally, and Miami Beach provides the perfect environment for that ambition. The City of Miami Beach has been an outstanding partner throughout this process—its vibrancy, pro-business approach, and quality of life make it an extraordinary home for our employees and for our future.”
What is Playboy? A magazine started by the late Hugh Hefner
Playboy was an American men’s lifestyle and entertainment magazine founded in Chicago in 1953 by entrepreneur and publisher Hugh Hefner. It focused on revealing photographs and articles of women, referred to as “playmates” or “bunnies.”
Over the decades, the Playboy brand grew into a global media and entertainment empire, opening Playboy clubs, filming TV specials and seeing celebrities grace its cover. According to the New York Times, the magazine saw a circulation rate of seven million at its peak in 1971.
Hefner died at age 91 in 2017. In 2020, the company announced it would cease its print operations and be exclusively online; however, they have since announced in 2024 that an “annual print edition” will return.
Since its beginning, the brand has drawn criticism and controversy for “over-sexualizing women and promoting a misogynistic culture.” Former playmates and employees have also come out to share their stories of alleged mistreatment and sexual harassment by Hefner and the company.
In response to a 2022 documentary detailing the appalling accusations against Hefner and the company, Playboy issued a statement noting that “today’s Playboy is not Hefner’s Playboy.”
“We trust and validate these women and their stories and we strongly support those individuals who have come forward to share their experiences,” Playboy said in the statement. “It is critically important that we listen.”
Where will the new Playboy Global Headquarters be located?
According to a press release, the new global headquarters will be located at Rivani Miami Beach, a development at 1691 Michigan Ave.
It states the move will establish a content studio to support Playboy’s growing creator network, with the company saying it will produce original multimedia content across digital platforms, including podcasts, photography and other media ventures.
“As Miami Beach continues to establish itself as one of the premier cities in the world to live, work and conduct business, we are thrilled to welcome Playboy’s global headquarters,” Joseph Magazine, Commissioner of the City of Miami Beach, said about the move.
“This move is expected to bring a significant number of well-paying jobs to our city, and it reinforces our commitment to fostering innovation, cultural vitality and economic growth in partnership with one of the most iconic brands in history.”
New ‘Playboy Club’ coming to Miami
In addition to the move, a new Playboy Club will open in Miami Beach.
The press release details that the club will feature a “world-class restaurant, alongside an exclusive members-only space inspired by the storied Playboy Mansion — bringing the brand’s celebrated heritage to one of the most vibrant destinations in the world.”
According to Miami New Times, Miami was previously home to a Playboy Club from 1961 to 1985.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “Regardless of the scheme is, I always go back to that, it’s just about committing to doing hard things. We were really moving in the zone, taking away airspace and scrambling to challenge shots at the rim. In a lot of these losses in the last month we’ve just been giving up shots at the rim and threes.”

Orlando 2-4 Miami (2 Mar, 2026) Game Analysis – ESPN
ORLANDO, Fla. — Lionel Messi scored twice in a four-goal second half, defender Telasco Segovia added a goal and two assists and defending champion Inter Miami CF rallied to beat Orlando City SC 4-2 on Sunday night, winning for the first time at Inter&Co Stadium.
Messi took a pass from Segovia and scored in the 57th minute to tie it 2-2, and Segovia scored unassisted in the 85th for the lead. Messi put the finishing touch on the victory when he scored off a free kick in the 90th.
“The victory belongs exclusively to the players,” Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the game. “In the second half, they were a championship team. There were no tactics, nothing like that. There was heart, courage, possession, resilience, commitment. I think the team came out because they were champions last year.
“In the end, the players showed it. This victory is theirs.”
Messi’s first two goals of the season give him 52 in his first 55 regular-season MLS matches — 51 of them in his past 49 appearances. It also brought the reigning MLS MVP to 898 career goals scored, including 672 for Barcelona and 115 for Argentina.
“He’s the best player to ever play this sport. He’s a leader, and as a leader, he inspires others, but he also often needs to be inspired himself,” Mascherano said of Messi. “When he was driving forward, he had more attacking options, and with so many opportunities, he clearly has the ability to create chances like no one else, and that’s what allowed us to turn the game around.”
Marco Pašalić took a pass from Iván Angulo and scored in the 18th minute to give Orlando City a 1-0 lead. Pašalić has scored in four straight matches against Inter Miami.
Defender Griffin Dorsey set up Martín Ojeda for a goal six minutes later for a 2-0 advantage that stood through halftime.
Inter Miami cut it to 2-1 four minutes into the second half on Mateo Silvetti’s first career goal. Defenders Segovia and Facundo Mura had assists as the 20-year-old forward found the net in his fifth career appearance.
Segovia had eight goals and six assists as a rookie last season, while Mura collected his first assist in his first season.
Dayne St. Clair, the reigning goalkeeper of the year, turned away three shots — all in the second half of his second start with Inter Miami, but let in a soft goal for Orlando’s first.
Maxime Crépeau had four saves in his second start for Orlando City.
Teenager Colin Guske, 19, will miss Orlando City’s next match after the rookie picked up two yellow cards in his first start — the second one led to his exit in the 88th minute.
Inter Miami, which had never won in its previous nine trips to Orlando, was coming off a 3-0 road loss to LAFC.
Orlando City swept Inter Miami during the regular season last year and leads the all-time series 8-7-4.
Inter Miami plays D.C. United on Saturday at Audi Field. Orlando City is also on the road with a match against New York City FC.
