The long-awaited documentary chronicling the life and legacy of Bermuda’s football icon Clyde Best is edging closer to completion, with official premiere dates now confirmed in London (March 2026) and Bermuda (April 2026)—just ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
Affectionately dubbed “the superstar you’ve never heard of,” Clyde Best’s story is about to be told on an international stage, placing Bermuda in the global spotlight. The documentary, which has been in post-production for several months, promises a compelling and deeply human portrayal of one of the first Black players to break into English top-flight football during a time of racial adversity.
The red-carpet premieres will feature special guests from the global footballing world, celebrating Clyde’s pioneering journey from the shores of Bermuda to the pitches of the English Premier League.
The documentary has already garnered significant interest from international streaming platforms, further solidifying its potential to reach a wide global audience. This surge of attention presents a rare opportunity for Bermuda’s culture and legacy to be showcased on the world stage.
This month, the film’s Director/Producer returned to Bermuda to shoot the official trailer, working in collaboration with Bermudian production company 7 South. The movie’s host Tony B. Head is an award-nominated actor and television personality. The footage captured during this visit promises to deliver a vivid and emotional first glimpse into Clyde’s incredible story.
The project has seen a groundswell of support from the Bermudian community, with a host of island-based sponsors stepping up to back the film. Leading the charge is the Bermuda Football Association, which introduced the film to Concacaf and FIFA, recognizing its cultural and historical significance. Major sponsors include:

These contributions reflect a cross-community effort to bring this important story to light—uniting Bermudians across sectors and political lines in support of one of their own.
A Story for the World. A Pride for Bermuda.
As the journey to the big screen continues, the excitement on the island is palpable. With international recognition building and a powerful narrative of perseverance, pride, and legacy, the Clyde Best documentary is poised to become a landmark film—not only for sports fans, but for anyone who believes in the power of breaking barriers.
