Netflix Confirms Millwall FC Documentary with Proposed Release Date: A Deeper Look at a Club Like No Other
Netflix has announced plans for a brand-new football documentary and this time, the spotlight is on one of English football’s most storied and misunderstood clubs: Millwall FC.
The streaming platform confirmed that production is already underway for a documentary chronicling the Lions’ turbulent and passionate journey through the English football pyramid. While an exact release date remains subject to final scheduling, sources close to the project suggest Netflix is targeting a late September 2025 premiere.
Millwall’s inclusion in Netflix’s expanding football documentary slate marks a bold and long-awaited move. Long known for their fierce reputation and a fan base often labelled as one of the most loyal — and controversial — in the country, Millwall’s story is one that goes beyond the pitch. This documentary promises to dig deeper than the stereotypes, offering a humanising, honest portrayal of the people, the place, and the principles that have defined the South London club for nearly 140 years.
According to early reports, the series will feature extensive interviews with past and present players, coaching staff, die-hard supporters, and even former critics of the club. It will revisit some of Millwall’s most dramatic moments — from their rise through the divisions to their memorable 2004 FA Cup Final appearance — while also exploring life behind the scenes at The Den.
“It’s not about sensationalism. It’s about truth,” said a member of the production team, who previously worked on popular sports series for the platform. “Millwall has one of the most complex reputations in football, and we wanted to get past the headlines and understand what really makes this club tick.”
The announcement has been met with a mix of curiosity and excitement from fans and pundits alike. While some remain cautious about how Netflix will portray the club, many supporters have welcomed the opportunity to show the world another side of Millwall — the community projects, the lifelong bonds, the generational loyalty, and the resilience that defines the club’s identity.
Social media has already lit up with reaction, with Millwall fans expressing hope that the documentary will finally give them a voice that reaches beyond the terraces of The Den.
With filming continuing over the coming months and an official trailer expected later this summer, anticipation is building fast. If successful, the Millwall FC documentary could join the ranks of iconic football series and challenge global audiences to rethink what they think they know about the Lions of South London.
