FILMING FOR TT FILM ‘ISLE OF MAN’ WILL BEGIN AT TT 2026
The TT story is about to take another major step onto the world stage.
Filming for the film ‘Isle of Man’ inspired by the Isle of Man TT Races will begin during this year’s TT, marking a huge milestone for a project that has the potential to introduce the event and the Isle of Man itself to a much wider global audience.
That means TT 2026 will not only deliver the racing, spirit and atmosphere you know so well, but will also become the backdrop for the next chapter in bringing the TT story to screen.
And that matters for more than one reason.
Of course, it’s a major moment for the event. But it’s also a major opportunity for the Island. Because whenever the TT captures attention around the world, it does more than showcase racing - it showcases the Isle of Man: its roads, landscapes, character and identity.
The film forms part of the wider package picked up by Amazon MGM Studios, which also includes a companion docuseries filmed during the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races.
Now, with filming beginning at this year’s event, that project moves one step closer to reality.
“The TT has an extraordinary story to tell, and what makes this so authentic is that filming begins at the event itself, capturing the real environment, with the real atmosphere, and against the backdrop of the Isle of Man.
“The reach of a project like this goes far beyond motorsport. It creates a new opportunity for the Isle of Man and a chance to connect the TT, and the place that makes it possible, with entirely new audiences around the world. But just as importantly, it’s a chance to show new audiences around the world what makes this event so incredible.” Paul Phillips, Head of Motorsport, Department for Enterprise.
As always, event operations, safety and the running of the TT remain the priority. Filming activity during TT 2026 will be managed in close coordination with the Event Organiser, Race Promoter and relevant stakeholders to ensure that race operations, safety and the experience of competitors, officials, residents and fans remain the priority throughout.
More details regarding the film will follow in time. But for now, one thing is already clear: this year’s TT won’t just be watched by fans around the world, it will play an everlasting role in helping to bring the Isle of Man TT story to an even bigger audience in the years ahead.
