Netflix releasing a documentary on Leeds United—one in a serious news style, and the other with a more humorous tabloid tone.
Good News: Netflix Set to Release Groundbreaking Documentary on Leeds United’s Rise and Fall – and Rise Again
Netflix has officially announced a new sports documentary focusing on the turbulent and triumphant journey of Leeds United Football Club. Titled “Marching On Together: The Leeds United Story”, the six-part series is set to premiere globally in August 2025.
The documentary will chronicle Leeds’ dramatic highs and lows—from their promotion to the Premier League in 2020, the heartbreak of relegation, and their fierce push to reclaim glory. With never-before-seen footage from behind the scenes at Elland Road, intimate interviews with players, coaches, and die-hard fans, and insights from football legends like Marcelo Bielsa and Kalvin Phillips, the series promises to be an emotional rollercoaster.
Executive producer Rachel Mendez said, “This is more than football—it’s about loyalty, identity, and a city’s relentless spirit. Leeds fans will be proud of this tribute.”
Leeds United CEO Paraag Marathe expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We’re excited to share our story with the world, and there’s no better platform than Netflix.”
Early reactions from fans on social media are overwhelmingly positive, with many calling it “long overdue.” With the club’s current push for promotion once again heating up, the timing of the documentary couldn’t be better.

Netflix has gone full Yorkshire—and it’s about time! The streaming giant just revealed it’s releasing a sensational new documentary on Leeds United called *”Up the Whites: Drama, Goals & Bielsa’s Bucket”.
The show promises ALL the juicy bits: punch-ups in training (allegedly), Bielsa’s mysterious midnight chalkboard sessions, fan meltdowns, and an exclusive look at the club’s one-of-a-kind “promotion curse-breaking ritual” (spoiler: it involves a goat, a Greggs sausage roll, and a Billy Bremner chant).
Narrated by none other than Leeds mega-fan Russell Crowe (yes, really), the series will dive deep into the madness that makes Leeds United one of the most passionate—and chaotic—clubs in the world.
Expect surprise cameos from Patrick Bamford’s dog, a look inside Kalvin Phillips’ trophy cupboard (now featuring dust and a pint glass), and a dramatic reenactment of that time Leeds didn’t kick the ball out and caused national outrage.
Sources say one episode is entirely dedicated to the bucket Bielsa sat on during games, including a segment called “Bucket-cam” showing his exact view of every match.
Release date is set for August, just in time to ruin everyone’s preseason optimism. Marching on… to Netflix!
