Do you like wet turkey? Because Thanksgiving is getting down right steamy this year. Tubi is bringing Sidelined 3: End Game to its streaming lineup on Thursday, November 26, giving fans of the Sidelined movies one more chance to catch up with Drayton Lahey and Dallas Bryan after they scarf down a big plate of fixin’s.
There is an even bigger reason to mark the holiday date, too: this is the third and final installment of the franchise. Sadly, the trilogy is coming to a close.
Noah Beck and Siena Agudong are returning as Drayton and Dallas for the last chapter of their story. The new film picks up two years after the events of Sidelined 2: Intercepted, with Drayton now playing quarterback for USC and arriving in New York City as a Heisman hopeful.
Football may be the reason everyone expects him to be there, but it isn’t the only thing on his mind.
Dallas has been building a life of her own in New York. She’s working toward her career goals and dating Skyler, played by Charlie Gillespie, who also returns for the final film. Drayton’s unexpected arrival puts the former high school sweethearts back in each other’s orbit, leaving him with one opportunity to show Dallas that he may have more on his mind than a football trophy.
Tubi has already given fans a taste of that reunion. In an exclusive sneak peek, Dallas is leading a workout class when Drayton turns up, making it clear that his trip to New York has a personal motivation.
Beck and Agudong are joined by returning cast members Gillespie, Drew Ray Tanner, Kolton Stewart, Sage Linder, Asia Lizardo, and Jason Fernandes. Sarah Levy is also part of the cast, playing Drayton’s sports agent and PR strategist. Michael Medico, whose credits include XO, Kitty, directs the final installment.
Tubi announced Sidelined 3 as the franchise’s conclusion when the film was first greenlit in May. The original Sidelined: The QB and Me introduced audiences to Drayton and Dallas, while Sidelined 2: Intercepted complicated their relationship and left their future together uncertain. Now the story gets one last movie to sort things out.
So, if Thanksgiving plans include some time on the couch after dinner, Tubi has a date worth keeping in mind. Sidelined 3: End Game arrives exclusively on the free streaming service November 26, 2026.
