In an exciting development for Ohio State fans and college football enthusiasts, Netflix has announced the upcoming release of a new documentary titled The Heart of the Ohio State Buckeyes: A Journey Through Band. This highly anticipated film will provide an in-depth look at the role of the Ohio State Marching Band (OSUMB) during the Buckeyes’ 2025 National Championship season.
Scheduled for release in early 2026, the documentary promises to deliver never-before-seen footage of the band’s preparations, performances, and their deep connection to the football team’s championship run. While most sports documentaries focus solely on the athletes, Netflix’s latest project takes a unique approach by highlighting the iconic band, famously known as The Best Damn Band in the Land (TBDBITL), and their role in creating the electrifying game-day atmosphere.
Produced by NFL Films in collaboration with Netflix Sports, the documentary will feature exclusive interviews with OSUMB members, band directors, head coach Ryan Day, and key players from the Buckeyes’ title-winning squad. Viewers will gain insight into the rigorous training, traditions, and passion that fuel the band’s performances at Ohio Stadium and beyond.
“This is a story about more than just football,” said executive producer Ross Ketover. “The Ohio State Marching Band has a storied legacy that intertwines with the success of the football program. Their dedication, precision, and heart are as vital to the Buckeye experience as the team itself.”
The documentary will also showcase the emotional highs and lows of the 2025 season, from the thrilling victories that propelled Ohio State to the College Football Playoff to the unforgettable national championship game that cemented their legacy. With breathtaking cinematography and powerful storytelling, The Heart of the Ohio State Buckeyes will offer a fresh perspective on what makes Ohio State’s game-day experience one of the most iconic in college football.
Fans can expect an official trailer and release date announcement in the coming months. Until then, Buckeye Nation can relive their championship glory and anticipate a documentary that truly captures the spirit of Ohio State.
