Many exciting and new sports documentaries have been hitting different OTT platforms in the past years, and Netflix has not stayed behind in the race and amazed us with the likes of The Last Dance, Drive to Survive, and Last Chance U and is planning to do the same in the coming years.

Therefore, here we are providing you with a list of sports documentaries that are planning to hit Netflix in 2022 and 2023.

Hold Your breath: The Ice Dive

Focusing on a renowned Finnish ice diver, Johanna Nordblad, who already holds a world record in her sports, is now attempting to break one of the world’s most dangerous records for distance traveled under the ice with one breath. Being a hyperthermia patient, she has to face even more challenges in her journey, but if she succeeds, she’ll be the first person on the planet to swim 80 meters in ice water. This 40 minutes documentary, directed by Ian Derry, has a lot to offer and would be hitting Netflix on May 3, 2022.

Heart of Invictus

This documentary is going to follow none other than our royal couple, Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, throughout the event of the 2022 Invictus Games that are taking place in the Netherlands. Invictus Games, the Paralympics equivalent for injured former members of the armed forces, is one of the projects taken up by Archewell Productions of the Archewell Foundation started by the couple itself. With no news on the runtime of the documentary, we are expecting that it would release in 2022 itself.

Last Chance U: Basketball- season 2

We saw Last Chance U covering American Football, but with the growing popularity, the show would spin off and explore other exciting sports, including American Football. Last Chance U: Basketball Season 2 will be returning to follow the East Los Angeles College Huskies (ELAC) led by passionate head coach John Mosley. With a runtime of 50-61 Minutes for each episode, the show will be hitting Netflix in 2022.

Formula 1: Drive to Survive Seasons 4 and 5

The first three seasons of the show offered subscribers unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the world of Formula 1 racing, and Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 4 wasted no time and debuted on March 11, 2022 on Netflix, becoming one of the chart-toppers. One of the best sports docuseries available on any streaming platform, this motor car-based show with a runtime between 27-51 minutes is also planning to renew its Season 5, which may also release in 2023. You can surely watch the fourth season on Netflix and can buckle up your seatbelts for the fifth exciting season of the same.

Netflix is partnering with sporting events organizer A.S.O. on a documentary series covering one of the world’s biggest annual sporting events, the Tour de France, 2022.
