With the Premier League season about to kick off and the release of the second season of Ted Lasso, Apple TV+’s popular football-focused comedy, ‘footy fever’ is still in the air. That’s why Netflix’s next big film has been announced at just the right time…

The Beautiful Game is a new film that follows a team of homeless English footballers in their quest for a win – and we already know we’re going to be cheering them on. The fact that it highlights the real life work of the Homeless World Cup Foundation – a charity that uses football to inspire people who are homeless to make changes in their own lives – is just the feel-good cherry on the cake.
