With the World Cup set to begin soon, it’s an exciting time to be a sports fan right now, and Disney+ offers a wide range of content, whether you’re a football fanatic, or if you want to get away from all the match madness!

Disney+ will be launching a new ‘Football Stories’ collection in the UK from 20th November, featuring:


Save Our Squad

Welcome To Wrexham

In “Welcome to Wrexham,” Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds learn to run the third oldest professional football club in the world. In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the fifth tier Red Dragons in the hope of turning Wrexham AFC into an underdog story the whole world can root for, but the concern is that neither have any experience in football or working with each other. From Hollywood to Wales, from the pitch to the locker room, and the front office to the pub, the docuseries will track Rob and Ryan’s crash course in football club ownership and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town counting on two actors to bring some serious hope and change to a community that could use it.


Maradona Confidential

That One Word – Feyenoord

Goal! The Big Dream Begins

The amazingly gifted Santiago Munez, a young immigrant living in the barrios of Los Angeles, has an impossible dream — to play soccer for a world class team. Unexpectedly getting a tryout with one of England’s premier soccer clubs, Newcastle United, Santiago finds himself totally alone in a world where soccer is a religion and the players are gods. Now he not only has to prove he has the passion, talent, and determination to make it alongside the best in the world, but he has to overcome his own demons and those of others. Filled with memorable characters, great heart, and real-life soccer legends, GOAL! THE DREAM BEGINS is a triumphant story about believing in your dreams.


You’ll find lots of other sports-related entertainment on Disney+ in the United Kingdom too: follow the triumphant real-life story of basketball legends the Antetokounmpo brothers with Rise, or track the journey of The Mighty Ducks from underdogs to an ultra-competitive youth hockey powerhouse.
