Following their triumph at the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the four-part series will tell the story of the team that overcame international competition to lead Spain to their second World Cup title after 2010. The documentary is scheduled for release in December 2026 and will be available worldwide on Prime Video.
A behind-the-scenes look at the world champions
The documentary will focus not only on the team’s sporting success on the pitch, but above all on the journey that led them there. Viewers will be given exclusive insight into the daily life of the national team – from tournament preparations and team routines to the decisive moments throughout the World Cup.
The series follows the Spanish squad throughout their entire World Cup journey and features moments that fans have never seen before. These include access to the team dressing room, conversations between players and the coaching staff, as well as emotional scenes before and after key matches.
The creators want to show how individual top players came together to form a united team that was able to win the biggest trophy in international football.
A historic achievement for Spain
The 2026 World Cup title adds another chapter to the most successful periods in Spanish football history. After their first World Cup victory in 2010, the national team has once again managed to lift the most prestigious trophy in world football.
The final against Argentina will play a central role in the documentary. The decisive moment of the tournament will be shown from different perspectives – capturing the emotions of the players, the reactions of the coaching staff and the celebrations after the final whistle.
Alongside the sporting highlights, the series will also explore the challenges faced during the tournament: the pressure of an entire nation, the expectations of the fans and the mental demands of a long World Cup campaign.
RFEF and Prime Video focus on exclusive content
The collaboration between the Spanish football federation and Prime Video follows a growing trend in which major sporting events are increasingly accompanied by documentary productions. This gives fans access to areas that would normally remain hidden from public view.
For the production, the RFEF is working together with Telefónica Broadcast Services. High-quality footage will be combined with interviews and personal stories to provide as comprehensive a picture as possible of the World Cup success.
The documentary is set to be released in more than 200 countries, allowing it to reach football fans around the world.
More than just a football story
Those behind the project see the series as more than just a retrospective of a title victory. It is also intended to showcase the values and mentality behind the success: teamwork, unity and the ability to perform in decisive moments under the highest pressure.
The production is likely to hold particular significance for Spanish football fans. After years filled with major successes, a new generation of players will now have their own story told – captured through footage, interviews and personal moments.
Release scheduled for December 2026
The four-part documentary series is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video in December 2026. An official title has not yet been announced.
Until then, Spain’s World Cup triumph will remain a historic moment, with the full story now set to be told for the first time from an up-close perspective.
