If you want the closest mix of teen romance and competitive sport after Netflix’s Crew Girl, start with Finding Her Edge. For school athletics, try All American; for elite-school scheming, choose Gossip Girl; and for a romance-first watch, go with The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Netflix describes Crew Girl as an eight-episode 2026 drama about teen rower Teagan Tao, who moves to a small town after a family scandal and joins an elite prep school’s all-boys crew. The series brings together sports competition, teen attraction and rivalry, and school and small-town dynamics. Which part do you want to match next: the rowing, the romance, or the school drama? That framing question appears in an editorial article, not audience research, but it makes a useful way to choose. Netflix’s title page

If you want sport and romance together

1. Finding Her Edge

This is the closest match among these recommendations if you want athletes, competition, and romantic complications in the same story. Its teen lead is an ice dancer dealing with competitive partners, pressure on her family’s rink, and a love triangle. The sport is figure skating rather than rowing, but the combination of ambition and attraction is close. Swooon also connects the series to Crew Girl through executive producer Jeff Norton. Swooon’s recommendations Tom’s Guide says it adapts Jennifer Iacopelli’s novel. Tom’s Guide on Finding Her Edge

2. Off Campus

Choose this for a sports romance centered on college hockey, fake dating, and relationships. It shifts up in age and maturity from Crew Girl: its characters are college students, not high-school teens. That makes it a better fit if you want the relationship-and-sport mix without needing the prep-school setting. Swooon’s recommendations

3. Spinning Out

If the training pressure and emotional strain matter more to you than the school setting, this figure-skating drama is another option. It broadens the sports side of the match, though the cited recommendations do not establish it as a direct teen-school counterpart. MacObserver’s recommendations

If you want team ambition and school athletics

4. All American

Pick this for a high-school sports story shaped by a change of school and the gap between communities. Spencer James moves from a Compton high school to play for a Beverly Hills team, putting athletics and class dynamics at the center. The sport is football, but the school-team ambition makes it a strong choice if you watched Crew Girl for the competitive side. Swooon’s recommendations

5. Friday Night Lights

This is the strongest choice for the small-town effect of sport: the team matters to the wider community, while relationships unfold around it. The recommendation source identifies it as an inspiration for Crew Girl, making it a particularly relevant pick if you want athletics woven into local identity rather than treated as background. Swooon’s recommendations

6. One Tree Hill

For a longer-running small-town teen drama with basketball, family dynamics, and romantic entanglements, try One Tree Hill. It combines several of Crew Girl’s ingredients, though its basketball setting and extended run give it a different feel. Swooon’s recommendations

7. The Kicks

This is the younger-skewing option on the list. It follows a young soccer player who moves and tries to get her new team into shape, so it fits best if you want team-building and sport without the same teen-romance emphasis. The source says the series is based on a book by soccer player Alex Morgan. Swooon’s recommendations

If the relationships or school politics matter most

8. Gossip Girl

Choose this for privileged teen drama, messy relationships, and social maneuvering at an elite school. It offers the school-status and romance side of Crew Girl, not a close sports match. Swooon’s recommendations

9. Bet

Bet also has an elite-school setting, but its high-stakes competition is gambling rather than athletics. It is a useful pick if you want intense rivalries and school dynamics, and it shares a cast member with Crew Girl: Miku Martineau. Swooon’s recommendations

10. Dawson’s Creek

For a coastal teen setting and love-triangle relationships, try Dawson’s Creek. It is a romance-and-friendship pick rather than a sports drama; the cited recommendation specifically notes that it lacks the athletic element. Swooon’s recommendations

Also consider: The Summer I Turned Pretty

If you want a coastal coming-of-age romance with a prominent love triangle, this is another strong romance-first choice. It is based on Jenny Han’s book series, according to the recommendation source. Swooon’s recommendations The book series is optional reading, not a prerequisite for watching.

Other sports-centered alternatives

These recommendations expand the sports angle but move further from Crew Girl in age, setting, or tone:

  • Olympo focuses on elite young athletes and tangled romances.
  • The Winning Try pairs rugby with high-school underdogs.
  • Zero Chill brings together hockey and figure skating.
  • GLOW centers ensemble teamwork in an adult dramedy.
  • Running Point shifts to professional basketball and workplace comedy.

These are broader alternatives rather than close equivalents; the cited list does not establish them as direct matches on all of Crew Girl’s teen, romance, and school elements. MacObserver’s recommendations

Where to stream these shows

Streaming rights and catalogs vary by country and change over time. A recommendation article listed Netflix for Gossip Girl, All American, and Bet, and Prime Video for Friday Night Lights, Off Campus, and The Summer I Turned Pretty. Treat those as leads from that article, not a current or worldwide availability guarantee; check the title in your local service catalog before subscribing or planning a watch.
