FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK — The spotlight is heading to the Pacific Northwest.
HBO and NFL Films have officially announced that Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Seattle Seahawks will debut on August 11, bringing fans inside the training camp of the reigning Super Bowl champions.
The five-episode series will air weekly on HBO and stream on HBO Max, with new episodes dropping every Tuesday through the season finale on September 8.
A Historic First for the Franchise
For the first time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks will be featured on the award-winning series — and they’re doing it as champions.
Even more notable, this marks the first time since 2001 that Hard Knocks will follow a defending Super Bowl champion, adding another layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated season.
Star Power and Storylines to Watch
The series will provide exclusive, behind-the-scenes access from training camp in Renton, Washington, highlighting key figures shaping Seattle’s title defense.
Fans can expect to see:
Head coach Mike Macdonald leading a championship roster
Quarterback Sam Darnold stepping into the spotlight
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the 2025 AP Offensive Player of the Year
Defensive playmakers Devon Witherspoon and Byron Murphy II
With a mix of rising stars and established talent, the Seahawks’ camp is positioned to deliver compelling storylines from day one.
Looking Ahead: Patriots Set for 2027 Feature
The NFL also confirmed that the New England Patriots — fresh off a Super Bowl appearance — will be the featured team for the 2027 training camp edition of Hard Knocks.
A Legacy of Storytelling Excellence
Since its debut in 2001, Hard Knocks has become one of the most respected sports series on television, offering fans an unfiltered look at NFL teams during training camp.
With 141 Sports Emmy Awards, NFL Films continues to set the standard for sports storytelling, blending cinematic production with unmatched access to the game.
The series will once again be narrated by Liev Schreiber, whose voice has become synonymous with the franchise.
Why This Season Matters
The NFL continues to dominate television, with league programming accounting for 86 of the top 100 broadcasts in 2025 — and Hard Knocks remains a key piece of that cultural impact.
Now, with a championship team, high expectations and a roster full of personalities, this season has the potential to be one of the most compelling yet.
Final Take
This isn’t just another season of Hard Knocks — it’s a front-row seat to what it takes to defend a title.
And this summer, all eyes will be on Seattle.
