A four-part documentary series exploring Pep Guardiola's final two seasons as Manchester City manager is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. A Beautiful Obsession follows Guardiola throughout the 2024/25 and 2025/26 campaigns, offering what is billed as 'the ultimate account of an emotional farewell'.
Since joining Man City in 2016, Guardiola led the club to six Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, three FA Cups and five League Cups. As his decade at the club came to an end last season, the 'all-access' docuseries examines the trophyless 2024/25 campaign, before following the team's resurgence as they secured a domestic double the following year, winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
Unfiltered access and a changing squad
The series captures a squad in transition, with established stars including Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and John Stones departing the club. It culminates with the climax of the 2025/26 season, including a pivotal clash with Arsenal, the FA Cup Final, and Guardiola's emotional farewell.
Directed by Academy and BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald, known for Touching the Void, The Last King of Scotland and the Whitney Houston documentary Whitney, the series reportedly offers 'unfiltered' access to Guardiola, his squad and the City boardroom, as new faces find their feet and Guardiola wrestles with when to call it a day.
How to watch for free
All four episodes are streaming now on Amazon's Prime Video, meaning fans with an Amazon Prime subscription can watch at no extra cost. Those without a subscription can sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-day trial and tune into every episode completely free. The subscription will automatically renew at the usual £8.99 when the trial ends, so customers wanting to avoid this must cancel within 30 days.
Amazon Prime also provides access to a wide selection of sport and football series, including the 2018 documentary All or Nothing: Manchester City. Members also benefit from free delivery options on Amazon orders and Amazon Music at no extra cost.
Premier League return
The series launches days before Man City's opening game of the 2026/27 Premier League season, which sees them host Bournemouth on Sunday, August 23. The game will air live on Sky Sports from a 2pm kick-off.
A limited number of last-minute tickets are also available through Seat Unique, which offers a range of VIP and hospitality packages at the Etihad. These are more pricey than regular match tickets, with the most affordable option currently £180.
