Upcoming sports stories include Netflix's The Mosquito Bowl, Paramount's Mr. Irrelevant: The John Tuggle Story, Disney's Stephen Curry IMAX documentary Portrait of an Artist, Sony's The Comebacker, and Prime Video's Hometown Giants.
Cross-genre titles appear on more than one FilmBase page when that helps readers browsing mood—for example a heist comedy under both Action and Comedy—without changing the studio listing or distributor.

Sports drama and Prime
Paramount's Mr. Irrelevant: The John Tuggle Story is an upcoming sports biopic wide release. Disney's Portrait of an Artist: Stephen Curry uses an IMAX-exclusive documentary path.
Looking further ahead, Marielle Heller's The Comebacker (Sony) and Cineverse's Air Bud Returns extend narrative and family sports brands. Prime Video's Hometown Giants Season 1 is on Amazon's upcoming-originals list.
Live sports on Prime Video are a separate product from scripted sports series. This page stays with narrative and documentary sports titles that carry premiere or theatrical listings.
Sports on screen among upcoming titles
Scripted sports films and series lean on true-story framing: The Mosquito Bowl's WWII game, Mr. Irrelevant's draft footnote, and Stephen Curry's IMAX documentary portrait. Prime Video's Hometown Giants Season 1 is the scripted sports series launch on Amazon's upcoming-originals list.
Family sports comedy returns with Air Bud Returns, while Marielle Heller's The Comebacker holds for Sony. Live sports rights on Prime Video are outside this scripted guide; use Prime Video's sports hub for game schedules rather than FilmBase genre pages.
