In a move that has college football fans across the country buzzing, Netflix has officially greenlit an epic, multi-part documentary series on Nick Saban, the legendary coach who redefined dominance in the NCAA and built an unmatched dynasty at the University of Alabama.
The upcoming series, titled simply “SABAN,” will chronicle the career, philosophy, and legacy of the seven-time national champion, offering viewers unprecedented access to one of the greatest minds in sports history. Scheduled for release in Fall 2025, the series is being produced by the same creative team behind acclaimed sports documentaries like The Last Dance, Quarterback, and Untold.

Nick Saban’s name is synonymous with success. Over the course of his career, Saban amassed an astonishing 292 career wins, 7 national championships (6 at Alabama, 1 at LSU), and became a beacon of excellence and leadership within college football.
Netflix promises the docuseries will go far beyond the numbers. According to the official press release, “SABAN will peel back the curtain on a coach who built a culture of discipline, obsession, and greatness — and changed the game forever.”

The Legacy of a Legend
