Netflix Partners with Ole Miss Basketball: Program-Record Student Crowd Cheers Against Texas A&M
In a landmark moment for Ole Miss basketball, the program welcomed a record-breaking student crowd during their recent faceoff against Texas A&M. The excitement at The Pavilion was further amplified by a surprise announcement from Netflix, which added to the night’s electric atmosphere.
The entertainment giant has partnered with Ole Miss Athletics to document the season in a feature showcasing the team’s journey and the unparalleled energy of their fanbase. The announcement came just as Ole Miss shattered attendance records, with thousands of students showing up in full force to cheer for the Rebels.
“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Coach Chris Beard. “The support from our students was phenomenal, and having Netflix here to capture it all is the cherry on top.”
Fans flooded social media with clips of the game’s intense moments, the booming crowd chants, and speculation about Netflix’s involvement. The series, expected to air later this year, promises an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the team’s highs and lows while spotlighting the passionate community backing them.
The Rebels may have battled Texas A&M on the court, but the real winner of the night was Ole Miss spirit—and Netflix is making sure the world gets to see it.
