Background
The initial run of seven films was conceived prior to the launch of BT Sport in 2013, with the first film being shown on the channel's third day on air.{{cite web |title=Introducing BT Sport Films |url=http://sport.bt.com/moresporthub/moresport/introducing-bt-sport-films-S11363819081379 |website=BT Sport |accessdate=12 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012102956/http://sport.bt.com/moresporthub/moresport/introducing-bt-sport-films-S11363819081379 |archive-date=12 October 2019 |url-status=live }} The commissioning editors for the series have been Jamie Hindhaugh, Barry Andrews, Sally Brown, Simon Green and Grant Best.
A number of the films have received a limited theatrical release, in which case BT Sport Films is usually credited as one of the production companies.
On most occasions, the first transmission of a film will be commercial-free, with versions including commercial breaks used for subsequent broadcasts. The films are shown on the BT Sport channels alongside documentaries from ESPN, including 30 for 30, Nine for IX, SEC Storied and Backstory, as well as official MotoGP films. In 2015, the channel also had a season of Warren Miller ski and snowboarding films.

=Short films=
Four half-hour films have been made under the BT Sport Films Shorts banner. These initial four films were made using unused material from State of Play.
- State of Play: The Player
- State of Play: The Manager
- State of Play: The Club
- State of Play: Society
=BT Sport Films Club=
In December 2020, nine short interstitials titled BT Sport Films Club were aired, featuring presenter Craig Doyle discussing the films Brothers in Football, The Crazy Gang, Greavsie, Cornered, Rocky and Wrighty, Team of the Eighties, No Hunger in Paradise, Shoulder to Shoulder and The Gaffer, promoting the availability of the films on demand. These broadcast whenever a BT Sport channel had time in hand, for example, if live broadcasts of WWE Raw, WWE NXT or Australian A-League football had finished early. BT Sport Films Club was discontinued when BT Sport rebranded to TNT Sports in 2023.
Critical response
The series has had a generally good reception from critics.
The Daily Telegraph said that Rocky & Wrighty was "a fitting tribute to the much-loved [David] Rocastle",{{cite news |last1=Tyers |first1=Alan |title=Story of David Rocastle and Ian Wright shows there's much to be explored in films about football off the pitch |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/04/02/story-david-rocastle-ian-wright-shows-much-explored-films-football/ |accessdate=12 October 2019 |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=2 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012135129/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/04/02/story-david-rocastle-ian-wright-shows-much-explored-films-football/ |archive-date=12 October 2019 |url-status=live }} while the same newspaper described Golazzo: The Football Italia Story as a "terrific documentary" and "well worth a watch."{{cite news |last1=Tyers |first1=Alan |title=Football Italia: big in the 1990s, well worth a watch on BT Sport this week |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/04/01/football-italia-big-1990s-fun-watch-bt-sport-week/ |accessdate=12 October 2019 |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=1 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191012105728/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/04/01/football-italia-big-1990s-fun-watch-bt-sport-week/ |archive-date=12 October 2019 |url-status=live }}
