Aston Villa Teams Up with Netflix for Exclusive Documentary Series
Aston Villa Football Club is set to take center stage in a groundbreaking partnership with global streaming giant Netflix, as the club announces an exclusive documentary series that will give fans unprecedented access to life inside Villa Park. The series, titled Up the Villa: Inside the Pride, will follow Aston Villa’s 2024/25 campaign, offering behind-the-scenes footage of players, coaches, and staff both on and off the pitch.
Scheduled for release in early 2026, the documentary will feature never-before-seen moments, from tactical team meetings and training ground preparations to personal insights into the lives of star players. The project aims to showcase the club’s rich history, passionate fan base, and ambitions for future success, while also revealing the challenges of competing at the highest level in English football.
Netflix’s production crew has reportedly been embedded with the team since pre-season, capturing the highs, lows, and drama that define the Premier League experience. Viewers can expect emotional interviews, matchday build-up, and candid moments that go far beyond the 90 minutes on the field.
Club CEO Christian Purslow expressed excitement about the collaboration, calling it “an incredible opportunity to share the Aston Villa story with millions of viewers worldwide.” He emphasized that the series will not only celebrate Villa’s heritage but also highlight its vision for the future under manager Unai Emery.
For Netflix, this marks another step in its growing sports documentary portfolio, following global successes like Drive to Survive and Full Swing. Industry insiders predict the series could significantly boost Aston Villa’s global brand, attracting new supporters from outside the UK.
With a passionate fan community and a team determined to make history, Up the Villa: Inside the Pride promises to be an unmissable watch for football lovers and documentary enthusiasts alike.
