Give Me The Ball!, a new ESPN documentary chronicling the life and legacy of Billie Jean King, will premiere Sunday, November 22, on ESPN, the ESPN App and Disney+ in the United States, before becoming available globally on ESPN on Disney+ on Monday, November 23.
Directed by Liz Garbus and Elizabeth Wolff, the 30 for 30 documentary offers an intimate portrait of the tennis legend, exploring her achievements on court and her decades-long fight for equality.
Featuring previously unseen archival footage, including rare 1988 footage of King with a young Serena and Venus Williams, the film also includes interviews with Serena Williams, Elton John and Chris Evert.
“Billie Jean King is a selfless warrior whose life is a masterclass in advocacy and leadership, someone who put everything on the line for equality,” said Garbus.
The documentary premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and has since screened at more than 30 festivals worldwide.
