5 Inspiring Sports Movies You Can Stream Now

These uplifting sports movies are sure to leave you feeling motivated

Stories of athletic glory and underdogs earning victory never fail to inspire. Need a boost? Here are a few uplifting sports movies currently streaming.

Kurt Russell in Miracle

1 of 5 Miracle - Netflix

This 2004 film is based on the true story of the 1980 U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. Kurt Russell stars as Herb Brooks, the coach hired to assemble a hockey team strong enough to defeat the Soviets during the height of the Cold War. Although initially composed of selfish, immature players, Brooks unites his team and transforms them from underdogs into real competitors.


Chadwick Boseman in 42

2 of 5 42 - Netflix

Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman plays Jackie Robinson in this movie based on the true story of how Robinson became the first black man to play Major League Baseball. Robinson struggles to succeed while enduring violent racism on and off the field. The grace and courage he exhibits is truly powerful.

Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone in Creed

3 of 5 Creed - Hulu

Fans of Rocky will love this spinoff to the franchise. Michael B. Jordan plays the son of famous boxer Apollo Creed, who seeks out another boxing legend, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), to become his trainer. The training sequences are motivating, but it’s the emotional heart of the movie—a story about family, both chosen and biological—that makes this movie inspirational.


Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams

4 of 5 Field of Dreams - Hulu

Kevin Costner stars as Ray, a farmer who builds a baseball field in the middle of nowhere for no reason other than because a mysterious voice promised that “if you build it, he will come.” Soon, baseball players begin appearing on Ray’s field, but his mission is far from over. This touching film is perfect for a cozy night in.


Sean Astin in Rudy

5 of 5 Rudy - Starz

Those who enjoy sports movies, but have little athletic ability will especially appreciate Rudy. The film tells the true story of Daniel Ruettiger “Rudy” (Sean Astin) who has clung to an impossible dream for his entire childhood: play football at Notre Dame. Despite being rejected by the school three times and not having the money to attend if he were admitted, Rudy refuses to give up. It’s a tear-jerking story of what hard work and perseverance can accomplish, and one the real-life Rudy says is “98% true.”
