Basketball fans in Australia and beyond have been buzzing with anticipation, and now the wait is finally over. Netflix has officially announced the release date for the highly-anticipated Brisbane Bullets documentary, a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most iconic basketball clubs in the NBL. The documentary is set to premiere on October 10, 2025, giving fans unprecedented access to the highs, lows, and defining moments that have shaped the Bullets’ proud history.
The series, which Netflix promises will be “emotional, raw, and deeply inspiring,” will highlight not just the trophies and triumphs, but also the battles fought behind closed doors. Viewers will relive the glory of the Bullets’ three NBL championships (1985, 1987, and 2007), as well as the struggles the club endured during years of absence from the league before making a dramatic return in 2016.
“This isn’t just a basketball story; it’s a story of resilience, passion, and the unbreakable bond between a team and its city,” Netflix’s Australian sports content director said in a press release.
Current and former players will feature prominently, sharing personal stories of sacrifice and determination. From Leroy Loggins, the club’s all-time legend, to modern-day stars such as Nathan Sobey, the documentary will cover generations of players who left their mark on the Bullets.
Brisbane Bullets CEO Sam Mackinnon could not hide his excitement about the project. “To have the journey of this club told on a global platform like Netflix is an incredible honour. Fans will get to see what being a Bullet truly means — the commitment, the setbacks, and the relentless pursuit of excellence,” he said.
The documentary is expected to be more than just a sporting highlight reel. It will showcase the Bullets’ role in shaping the growth of basketball in Queensland, the passionate fans who fill Nissan Arena on game nights, and the challenges the club has faced in staying competitive in a rapidly growing league.
For the fans, the countdown has officially begun. “I’ve followed the Bullets since the ’80s, and to see their story told this way is going to be emotional,” lifelong supporter Michael Brown shared.
With the official date now confirmed, basketball lovers are marking their calendars. October 10 will not just be about the tip-off of another season — it will be the day the story of the Brisbane Bullets reaches the world.
