Businesswoman and UFL co-owner Dany Garcia will be the subject of her own documentary presented by ESPN and ESPN Deportes. My Name is Dany Garcia (Mi Nombre es Dany Garcia for its Spanish presentation), will spotlight Garcia’s life and achievements and promises to offer an exclusive glimpse in an intimate and captivating documentary.
Produced by ESPN’s Features Unit in collaboration with ESPN Deportes, the film explores Garcia’s evolution, tracing her journey from a young finance major and athlete at the University of Miami to her status as a visionary entrepreneur and influential business leader through exclusive interviews and archival footage.
In 2020, Garcia’s acquisition of the XFL made her the first woman to own an equal or majority ownership stake in a major professional sports league in the United States. She is now co-owner of the UFL following the merger between the two spring football leagues, XFL and USFL. The new league will be explored as part of the documentary.
The film features interviews with Garcia and key figures in her life, including her daughter Simone Johnson, brother Hiram Garcia, father Hiram Garcia, Sr., and business partner Dwayne Johnson.
My Name is Dany Garcia is part of ESPN Deportes’ year-long content initiative that commemorates the Spanish-language brand’s 20th anniversary. This initiative launched in 2023 during Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month and celebrates the influence of the Hispanic community in the world of sports, through a mix of programming including a mix of live events, as well as original content.
My Name is Dany Garcia debuts on March 28th at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes and streaming live on ESPN+ soon after its release. The film’s release coincides with the start of the 2024 UFL Season on Saturday, Mar. 30.
