Saquon Barkley Documentary to Debut Oct. 9 on Prime Video
Today, Prime Video announced an October 9 premiere date for Saquon, which coincides with a highly anticipated Thursday Night Football matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. Saquon will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
This feature-length documentary—from executive producer Martin Scorsese—chronicles Saquon Barkley’s journey to Super Bowl glory with the Philadelphia Eagles, showcasing both his resilience through injury and contract disputes as an elite NFL running back, and his unwavering character as a devoted father, husband, and friend whose self-belief never wavered on or off the field.
When Saquon Barkley hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in Philadelphia Eagles green, it marked the perfect culmination of a journey defined by unwavering self-belief.
This documentary takes viewers inside the locker room to witness firsthand how one of the NFL’s most electric running backs navigated his career’s most challenging chapter—methodically battling back from ACL surgery with the same explosive power that defines his playing style, while enduring tense contract negotiations with the team that drafted him, ultimately leading him to a bitter division rival.
But the heart of this film beats strongest away from the stadium, where Saquon’s identity as a father, husband, and friend reveals a man whose priorities transcend yardage and contracts.
Through intimate footage spanning five years, this definitive portrait showcases an athlete who never doubted his abilities, even when the outside world questioned what would come next.
Presented by Prime Video Sports, Skydance Sports, and Expanded Media, Saquon is produced by NFL Films Productions, LBI, and Vision26 Studios.
Saquon is directed by Alex Pappas and executive produced by Martin Scorsese; Jesse Sisgold, Jason T. Reed, and Jon Weinbach of Skydance Sports; Ross Ketover, Keith Cossrow, Ken Rodgers, and Jessica Boddy of NFL Films; Rick Yorn, Ken Katz, Julie Yorn, and Ron Burkle of LBI.
