⚽ Football Parents — The Sideline Circus You Didn’t Know You Needed

Streaming soon on Netflix!

You know the type: shouting from the sidelines like it's the World Cup Final, handing out "helpful" coaching advice, living and breathing every goal, pass, and tumble. Welcome to the hilarious, chaotic world of Football Parents — a new comedy series that shines a spotlight on the real MVPs of youth sports: the overly enthusiastic parents.

📣 What’s Football Parents About?

When Lillian’s son Levi joins a new amateur football team, she thinks she’s signing up for harmless Saturday matches and friendly snacks after the game. Instead, she’s thrown headfirst into a feverish community of soccer moms and dads who take their kids’ games way too seriously.

At the center of this chaos is Marenka, the ultimate sideline queen you do not want to cross before your first coffee of the day. Lillian just wants to keep things chill—but between Marenka’s power plays, snack rotas, and endless “motivational” speeches, that dream quickly evaporates.

Meanwhile, Levi is thriving, making fast friends with Vito, Marenka’s wonderfully eccentric son. While the kids form real bonds on the field, the parents wage a different kind of battle on the sidelines—full of ridiculous rivalries, petty squabbles, and a peculiar sense of team spirit.
