Los Angeles, CA – May 29, 2025 — Baseball fans, mark your calendars. The legendary run of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series and the historic impact of its greatest players will soon be streaming directly to your screen. Today, Netflix and Apple TV+ jointly announced the release dates for two highly anticipated baseball documentaries: Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series and an exclusive feature spotlighting Dodgers legends.
⚾ “Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series” Premieres March 28 on Apple TV+
Set to premiere on March 28, 2025, the three-part series Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series takes viewers behind the scenes of the epic 2024 championship showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Produced in collaboration with MLB and shot with unprecedented access to locker rooms, dugouts, and personal player interviews, this Apple TV+ exclusive gives fans a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic World Series in recent memory.
The series promises to highlight every major moment from Game 1 to the Dodgers’ thrilling Game 7 victory, featuring in-depth commentary from superstars Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
“This was more than just baseball,” said director Kevin Thompson. “It was a story of legacy, redemption, and how greatness is forged under pressure.”
Behind-the-scenes footage will reveal the team’s chemistry, the manager’s strategic decisions, and intimate moments—like Ohtani’s emotional speech before the final game and Freeman’s reunion with his son after clinching the title.
📺 Dodgers Legends Documentary Coming to Netflix
In a surprise announcement, Netflix revealed they will be releasing a feature-length documentary focused on the most iconic players in Los Angeles Dodgers history. While the exact release date is yet to be confirmed, the film is slated for late 2025.
The documentary, tentatively titled Legends of Dodger Blue, will spotlight the franchise’s storied past through rare footage, interviews, and exclusive commentary. Fans can expect appearances and stories from Hall of Famers such as Sandy Koufax, Fernando Valenzuela, Don Sutton, Kirk Gibson, and Orel Hershiser, as well as modern legends like Clayton Kershaw and Adrián Beltré.
The film will also delve into the cultural impact of Dodgers history — from the breaking of baseball’s color barrier by Jackie Robinson (Brooklyn era) to the “Fernandomania” phenomenon in the 1980s that captured hearts in L.A. and beyond.
“We wanted to celebrate not just victories on the field, but the people and stories that made the Dodgers a global symbol of resilience and unity,” said Netflix executive producer Marisa Torres.
🌟 Past Meets Present in 2024 Season Retrospective
Both projects aim to blend history with the present-day triumphs of the team. The Dodgers’ 2024 championship was widely hailed as a culmination of a long-term rebuild and smart acquisitions, including the historic signing of two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani. His 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases—both milestones achieved in the same season—cemented his place in MLB lore.
Freddie Freeman’s standout season, capped by a game-winning home run in the World Series, is also a central focus. So is the quiet brilliance of ace pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who recorded 15 strikeouts in Game 5, setting a postseason record for a Dodgers rookie.
“We’re giving fans a chance to see their heroes as human beings,” said MLB Studios executive Sarah Holbrook. “They laugh, cry, struggle, and fight for every inch. These are the moments that matter.”
