Netflix teams up with LaLiga to develop its first sports docuseries in Spain

Madrid, February 17 - LaLiga is not just football: it is passion, it is emotion. LaLiga is decided on the football field but it is also lived off the football field: in the locker rooms, in the bleachers, on the outskirts of the stadium on a match day. LaLiga will be the center of the first sports series that Netflix will produce in Spain.

The documentary series, currently in pre-production, will focus on the 2023-2024 LaLiga Competition, and will be launched worldwide on Netflix next year.  Similar to Netflix’s growing slate of sports programming such as Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Break Point, the series will take an inside look at everything that happens in the Professional Football League behind the scenes and the more personal stories of one of the most followed leagues in the world."For LaLiga, to be the star of Netflix's first sports series in Spain is a unique opportunity to take our football beyond the fans, to share with the world the excitement of the sport we love, and the chance for all our fans to see LaLiga from a totally different angle," added Óscar Mayo, Executive Director of LaLiga.

"At Netflix, we have always been committed to bringing must watch series and films to our members around the world. We are very proud and excited to share this project with LaLiga, which is an unprecedented opportunity to experience the excitement of one of the most exciting sporting competitions on the planet, first-hand", said Álvaro Díaz, Director, Unscripted & Documentary Series (Spain).
