Netflix has announced plans to release an exclusive documentary that will delve into the rich history and ongoing legacy of the Chicago Sky WNBA franchise. The streaming giant’s latest sports documentary aims to showcase the team’s journey, highlighting both its challenges and triumphs in women’s professional basketball.

The documentary will feature exclusive interviews with current and former players, coaches, executives, and fans who have been instrumental in shaping the team’s identity since its founding in 2006. Viewers can expect behind-the-scenes footage of pivotal moments, including the Sky’s 2021 WNBA Championship run led by stars Candace Parker, Kahleah Copper, and Courtney Vandersloot.

According to the announcement, the documentary will explore how the Chicago Sky has impacted women’s basketball in the Midwest and nationally, while also examining broader themes of gender equity in sports, representation, and the growth of the WNBA.

“This documentary celebrates not just championship moments, but the daily dedication and perseverance required to build a successful franchise in women’s professional sports,” said a Netflix representative in the press release. “We’re excited to bring the Chicago Sky’s compelling story to our global audience.”

The project comes at an exciting time for women’s basketball, with viewership and attendance numbers rising across the league. Production is reportedly already underway, with the documentary expected to premiere on Netflix in early 2026.

Sky fans and basketball enthusiasts alike will have the opportunity to gain new insights into one of the WNBA’s most dynamic franchises when the documentary debuts next year.
