Sky Documentaries take a Mission to Burnley

Mission to Burnley covers the dramatic story of the rebirth of one of England’s oldest clubs, Burnley FC.

This four-part observational documentary series follows the American owners ALK partners led by chairman Alan Pace, who is a member of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. With unprecedented access to the boardroom, dressing-room and inner workings of the club, audiences will be taken on a compelling fly-on-the-wall journey in a one-team working-class town, where football is a religion in itself.

Charting a rollercoaster period which saw the club lurch from the devastation of final-day relegation from the 2021/22 Premier League to the redemptive jubilation of promotion in the most emphatic fashion, the documentary explores Burnley’s evolution under the stewardship of one of the game’s most exciting young managers, Vincent Kompany.
