Football fans are in for a treat as Netflix releases the official trailer for its upcoming sports documentary series, Saudi Pro League: Kickoff. Set to premiere on November 21st, the series delves into the dynamic world of Saudi Arabia's top football league, capturing the highs and lows of a monumental 48th season, during which several high-profile signings were made as part of the ambitious vision to elevate the league to global prominence.


The documentary, produced by Whisper, offers a behind-the-scenes look at five of the league’s most prominent clubs—Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, and Al Ettifaq. Viewers are treated to an insider’s perspective on the dedication, passion, and drama that define the pursuit of the coveted Saudi Pro League title. As the series progresses, it examines the broader questions shaping the future of Saudi football: Can this massive investment in international players bring the success the league is aiming for? How are foreign stars adjusting to the Saudi culture, and how are local players faring in the face of this influx of global talent?




Among the season’s biggest stories, the series will spotlight Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest to lead Al Nassr to victory, the challenges faced by Karim Benzema as he navigates his new reality at Al Ittihad, and the uncertainty surrounding Neymar’s injury at Al Hilal—testing the resilience of both the club and its fans. It will also showcase Steven Gerrard’s transformative leadership at Al Ettifaq as he strives to bring the club back to its former glory, while Al Ahli, under Matthias Jaissle, works towards qualifying for the Asian Champions League after bouncing back from relegation in 2022.


The series also shines a light on the rising stars of Saudi football, including Salem Al Dawsari (Al Hilal), Feras Al Buraikan (Al Ahli), Talal Haji (Al Ittihad), and Abdulrahman Ghareeb (Al Nassr), who are determined to make their mark amidst the arrival of international icons.




Fans can expect a riveting journey full of drama, intense competition, and personal stories that extend beyond the pitch. Saudi Pro League: Kickoff promises to capture the excitement of Saudi football’s next chapter as it unfolds.


Streaming exclusively on Netflix starting November 21st.
