There is no Crystal Palace documentary that is truly Netflix‑exclusive right now, but there are several excellent Eagles films and series you can stream on other platforms, and a Netflix‑style project has been heavily teased in fan circles.
Is There a Palace Documentary on Netflix?
- As of late 2025, there is no officially released Crystal Palace documentary produced by or exclusive to Netflix.
- Some Palace fan groups have shared posts claiming that Netflix is preparing a new series about Palace legends or current stars like Jean‑Philippe Mateta and Ismaïla Sarr, but these are announcements/teasers rather than confirmed, live titles in the Netflix catalogue.
- If a Netflix series called New Era: It’s Time or similar launches, it has not yet appeared in official Netflix listings or mainstream TV databases; treat social posts about it as “coming soon” rather than something you can watch today.
Must‑Watch Palace Documentary: When Eagles Dare
- Title: When Eagles Dare: Crystal Palace F.C.
- Where to watch:
- What it covers: Palace’s journey from administration in 2010 to promotion in 2012–13, with behind‑the‑scenes footage and new interviews with Steve Parish, Dougie Freedman, Ian Holloway, Wilfried Zaha, Mile Jedinak and others.
If you only watch one Palace film, make it this – it’s the definitive modern club documentary.
New Club Films and Shorts You Can Stream
Outside Netflix, there are several high‑quality recent pieces:
- Under The Skin: The Story of Crystal Palace (2025) – 12‑minute documentary on YouTube and Palace TV about Palace’s “DNA”, Oliver Glasner’s transformation and the South London talent pipeline.
- Access All Over: FA Cup Final 2025 – Palace TV behind‑the‑scenes special following players, staff and fans through the FA Cup final day against Manchester City, available via Palace TV/Palace TV+.
- Palace TV Documentaries Hub – The club’s site has a dedicated documentaries section with minis like Fan Zhiyi: Back Where It Began and Listen Up, Son… | FA Cup Final Tifo Story plus other legacy pieces.
All of these are streamable online, either free (YouTube) or via a Palace TV+ pass.
Youth and Academy‑Focused Series
If you’re interested in the next generation:
- Football Dreams: The Academy (Channel 4 / All 4) – Multi‑club youth series featuring Crystal Palace academy prospects among others, available to stream free via Channel 4’s platform in the UK.
- Palace’s own academy content, including Loan Life (a mini‑series following youngsters on loan), is rolling out on Palace TV.
Where to Watch – Quick Guide
So, while Netflix doesn’t yet have a dedicated Crystal Palace documentary you can press play on today, Eagles fans are very well served on Prime Video, Palace TV+ and YouTube, with multiple high‑quality films already telling the club’s modern story from near‑extinction to Wembley glory.
