In a groundbreaking announcement that has electrified the AFL community, Netflix has officially confirmed the upcoming release of “Black & White Forever: The Collingwood Story.” The new documentary series will offer an unprecedented look behind the curtain of one of Australia’s most storied football clubs — the Collingwood Magpies — capturing their triumphs, trials, and the unbreakable bond between players, fans, and the black-and-white stripes that symbolize passion and pride.
The production, set to premiere globally in early 2026, promises a powerful and emotional exploration of Collingwood’s 130-year legacy. From its humble beginnings in working-class Melbourne to becoming a powerhouse of Australian sport, the Magpies have written one of the most compelling narratives in AFL history. With exclusive access to players, coaches, and archival footage, Netflix aims to deliver not just a sports story — but a tale of community, identity, and endurance.
At its heart, the documentary will explore the defining chapters that shaped the club — from the glory of legendary premierships to the heartbreaks that left fans in tears. Iconic figures such as Nathan Buckley, Scott Pendlebury, and Peter Daicos will be featured alongside the new generation of heroes like Nick and Josh Daicos, showcasing how the club’s legacy continues to evolve with every passing season.
One of the key focuses will be Collingwood’s remarkable 2023 premiership run, a campaign that saw Craig McRae’s men reclaim AFL supremacy with grit, unity, and unrelenting belief. The behind-the-scenes footage promises to capture the emotion of the locker room, the pressure of the finals, and the powerful human stories that defined that unforgettable season.
Beyond the field, Black & White Forever will delve into the cultural and social impact of Collingwood — exploring how the club has stood as a reflection of Melbourne’s working-class roots, resilience, and sense of belonging. Interviews with lifelong supporters will illustrate how being a Magpie is more than fandom — it’s a way of life, passed down through generations.
Netflix has confirmed that the series will feature rare archival material, including footage from early VFL eras, dramatic commentary from historic grand finals, and personal reflections from past champions. Combined with stunning cinematography and modern storytelling, this documentary is poised to become one of the most emotional and definitive AFL productions ever created.
Executive producer Sarah Latham described the project as “a love letter to Collingwood — to its fans, its legends, and the relentless spirit that keeps the black-and-white heartbeat alive.”
As anticipation builds, supporters around Australia are already calling it a must-watch event — not only for Magpie fans but for anyone who loves the drama, history, and passion of Australian Rules football.
From triumph to tragedy, from Victoria Park to the MCG — “Black & White Forever: The Collingwood Story” is set to remind the world why Collingwood isn’t just a club.
It’s a legacy.
It’s forever.
