BB.”20 Years of Legends: Netflix Exclusive Documentary on Super Bowl XL & the Immortal Legacy of the 2005 Steelers!”
Netflix Announces Exclusive Documentary Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the 2005 Super Bowl XL Champion Pittsburgh Steelers
Los Angeles, CA — Netflix has officially announced a brand-new exclusive documentary honoring the 20th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Super Bowl XL victory, one of the most defining moments in franchise — and NFL — history.
Titled “Steel Curtain: The Legacy of Super Bowl XL”, the documentary will premiere exclusively on Netflix in early 2026, bringing fans unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes stories, never-before-seen footage, and candid interviews with the players, coaches, and fans who made that season unforgettable.
A Tribute to a Championship That Defined a Generation
Super Bowl XL, played on February 5, 2006, marked the Steelers’ fifth Super Bowl title — a gritty, emotional 21–10 win over the Seattle Seahawks that cemented head coach Bill Cowher’s legacy and saw wide receiver Hines Ward named Super Bowl MVP.
The new Netflix film promises to take fans inside the locker room, chronicling the leadership of Ben Roethlisberger, the relentless defense led by Troy Polamalu, and the emotional journey of veterans like Jerome Bettis, who capped off his Hall of Fame career in his hometown of Detroit.
“It wasn’t just about football,” a Netflix spokesperson said in the announcement. “It was about brotherhood, belief, and a city that lived and breathed every snap. Twenty years later, we’re celebrating how that moment shaped the Steelers and the NFL forever.”
Star Interviews and Rare Footage
The documentary will feature new interviews with Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu, and members of the iconic Steel Curtain defense.
Archival footage from NFL Films and personal recordings from the players’ own collections will highlight the grind, sacrifice, and unity that defined the 2005 Steelers.
A Celebration for the Fans
The release will coincide with a 20th Anniversary Celebration Event at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, where fans will get a first look at the documentary alongside members of the 2005 roster.
For Steelers Nation, this isn’t just a trip down memory lane — it’s a celebration of heart, resilience, and the dynasty that helped define modern Pittsburgh football.
“Steel Curtain: The Legacy of Super Bowl XL” — premieres Spring 2026, only on Netflix.
