Bukayo Saka: The Time is Now, a new documentary film produced in partnership with Arsenal and England footballer Bukayo Saka, will be available to stream on Disney+ from June 5th.

The documentary, made in partnership ship with WhatsApp and entertainment agency Modern Arts, arrives at the pinnacle of Arsenal’s historic season as they’ve just won the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years. Directed by Emmy-award winner Robert Alexander, Bukayo Saka: The Time is Now brings together two generations of Arsenal greats in Saka and club legend Thierry Henry for an unguarded look at what it takes to perform at the highest level. He and Henry reflect on pressure, resilience, and the joy that first drew them to the game, with the conversation taking them back to Saka’s childhood home in Ealing where it all began.

It reveals Saka’s private support system behind the public moments, including a WhatsApp message from Henry that shifted his perspective following Euro 2020 – a pivotal point in his career. It’s a testament to the power of staying connected to the people who matter most, especially when the stakes are highest.

“This film has given me the chance to tell my story in a way I never have before,” said Saka. “People see the goals and the matches, but they don’t see what it takes behind the scenes, and part of that is my support system, the WhatsApp messages from the people who were there long before any of this who have believed in me every step of the way.”

“This is a defining year in Bukayo’s career, and this film shows what that really looks like – not just on the pitch, but in the private moments with the people who keep him grounded,” said Jennie Morel, Head of Brand Marketing at WhatsApp. “We’re incredibly honoured to be part of how he stays connected to his inner circle, and to help him share this story with the world.”
