Burnley FC is to feature in a Sky documentary which airs tonight (August 10), charting the club's return to the Premier League.

The four-part docu-series, Mission to Burnley, is a fly-on-the-wall series giving viewers a behind the scenes look at the club and its history.

The Sky Original series is described as an epic story about the rebirth of one of England’s most historic clubs, under the ownership of a charismatic group of American owners and the leadership of Vincent Kompany.

Leading to the build-up of the series Sky commissioned artwork to be painted on the side of a house in Higgin Street opposite Turf Moor.

Burnley boss Kompany and owner Alan Pace and will be shown in the opening sequence of the documentary.

The observational documentary series follows the American owners ALK Partners as they seek to navigate the snakes-and-ladders world of modern football.

Led by chairman Alan Pace and inspired by their religious faith as members of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, ALK swapped Wall Street for Turf Moor in a bid to build a global footballing dynasty in Burnley and beyond.

With unprecedented access to the boardroom, dressing-room and inner workings of the club, audiences will be taken on a compelling 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 its redemptive promotion to the premiere league in April.
