GRAB YOUR POPCORN: Netflix Announces Release Date for ‘North Siders Pride: The Cubbies Legacy’ — A Riveting Look at the Chicago Cubs’ Historic 2016 World Series Run

Chicago Cubs fans, baseball lovers, and sports documentary enthusiasts alike — get ready. Netflix has officially revealed the release date for its highly anticipated new sports documentary titled “North Siders Pride: The Cubbies Legacy,” a powerful and emotional deep dive into the Chicago Cubs’ unforgettable 2016 World Series triumph. The documentary is set to premiere globally on August 15, 2025, marking nearly a decade since the Cubs ended their infamous 108-year championship drought.

The film promises to take viewers far beyond the box scores and highlight reels, offering never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes access that captures the heart, heartbreak, and ultimately, the joy that defined the Cubs’ miraculous 2016 season. Narrated by a combination of players, coaches, broadcasters, and lifelong fans, “North Siders Pride” explores what that historic title meant not just for the team, but for generations of loyal fans who had waited a lifetime to see the curse broken.

The documentary features candid conversations with Cubs legends such as Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Jon Lester, Javier Báez, and David Ross, along with former manager Joe Maddon, who masterminded the Cubs’ dramatic Game 7 victory over the Cleveland Guardians (then Indians). The emotional rollercoaster of that final game — including the rain delay, the speech in the locker room, and the final out — is revisited in stunning cinematic detail.

Netflix has confirmed that “North Siders Pride” will also delve into the cultural and emotional significance of the win. Viewers will hear from fans who traveled across the country to witness history, die-hard Chicagoans who had inherited their fandom from previous generations, and even celebrity supporters who rode the wave with the team from spring training to victory parade.

In a statement, Netflix described the documentary as “a tribute to resilience, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a team and its city.”

With its release just months away, anticipation is sky-high. So mark your calendars, Cubs fans — August 15 will be a celebration of baseball glory and long-awaited dreams come true.
