NFL legend Brady owns a minority stake in Birmingham, with the seven-time Super Bowl winner on hand to offer priceless nuggets of advice when it comes to the art of winning while also helping to boast the club’s global appeal as a brand.
A new documentary series will now further aid that cause, with ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues’ set to be released on Amazon Prime Video in over 200 countries on August 1, 2025 – with all five episodes being made available to stream immediately.
WHAT BRADY SAID
The first footage from the show has been revealed, with fans highlighting the club’s need for an urgent transformation when saying: “Birmingham City have been the pioneers in f*cking up games of football from 1875”. Brady is seen laying out his mission for the Blues, as he says “we’re trying to make this a world-class team”, while later stating that he will be taking “no f*cking prisoners”.

The documentary will shine a spotlight on this community’s resurgence, illustrating how the football club plans to drive its transformation.”
