Prime Video has announced Lineker (working title), a four-part docuseries telling the remarkable story of the legendary footballer-turned-broadcaster’s 50-year career. Lineker will launch exclusively in 2027 in over 240 countries and territories worldwide and is available to Prime members at no additional cost, with filming underway.

As one of England’s original international football icons, Lineker’s life has been intertwined with British culture across football, television and politics – from Mr. Nice Guy on the pitch to an outspoken figure off it, sparking national debate and dividing opinion in the process.


Lineker will tell the definitive story of Gary Lineker’s life and career with nostalgic archive and unseen personal material, from his childhood in Leicester to emerging as a footballing superstar, before becoming a renowned broadcaster, entrepreneur, podcaster and more. At the heart of the series will be candid insights and reflections from Lineker himself as he shares his own journey for the first time in unfiltered, honest interviews which delve into the truth behind the headlines. Family members, fellow footballers, friends and critics alike will also offer commentary on Lineker’s past and present, in a series of intimate interviews.

Lineker is produced by Orchard Studios, and Executive Produced by Nat Lippiett and Dan Grabiner. “Everyone has their own Gary Lineker”, Lippiett said. “The World Cup hero, the Match of the Day presenter, the activist or even the face of crisps – for decades he has been at the centre of the national conversation.” Grabiner added: “This series goes beyond the headlines to reveal the many sides of one of Britain’s most recognisable and divisive figures, with candid insight from Gary himself and those closest to both his triumphs and controversies.”

The docuseries will be available at no additional cost to Prime members and joins Prime Video’s wide selection of sports programming.
