Netflix released the first trailer for its Aug. 5 documentary, “SEC Football: Any Given Saturday,” and it will have you running through a wall. It’s no accident it was released on the same day of SEC Media Days. Included in the trailer is ESPN college analyst – and former Alabama coach – Nick Saban’s comments about Vanderbilt.
“The only place in the SEC that’s not hard to play is Vanderbilt,” Saban said last year during a segment on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
“I heard that,” Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia said. “That fueled me.” Pavia led the Commodores to a stunning 40-35 win over the the Crimson Tide and first-year coach Kalen DeBoer.
The Netflix sports series takes fans deep inside the SEC during the 2024 season, offering unprecedented access to the players, coaches, and programs that define the sport’s most dominant league.
The seven-episode series, according to Netflix, captures the pressure, pageantry and intensity of SEC football like never before. Viewers will ride along on the team buses, sit in on locker-room speeches, drop in on barbershop banter, and witness the grind it takes to be a D1 athlete in the nation’s most competitive football culture.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a lapsed alum, or just curious what life is really like inside college football’s most elite conference, the series brings unmatched access to the culture, commitment, and chaos of SEC football. It’s as much about the grind and emotion as it is about touchdowns and trophies.
“This behind-the-scenes docuseries will bring all the drama and pageantry of Southeastern Conference Football to a worldwide Netflix audience,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a Netflix release.
