The Seattle Seahawks are scheduled to be featured on the HBO docuseries "Hard Knocks" in the summer of 2026, followed by the New England Patriots in the summer of 2027, according to @MikeReiss of ESPN.
The announcement marks a significant look ahead for the NFL's premier behind-the-scenes program. The Seahawks will be the primary focus of the training camp series in two years, providing fans with an inside look at the team's preparations and roster battles. The following year, the Patriots will take center stage, marking a rare televised deep-dive into the Foxborough-based franchise during the 2027 preseason.
The selection of these two franchises adds to the growing list of teams participating in the expanded "Hard Knocks" universe, which now includes various formats throughout the league year. Historically, the NFL has used specific criteria to select teams for the training camp version of the show, though teams can also volunteer for the exposure.
Specific details regarding production and broadcast schedules for the 2026 and 2027 iterations will be confirmed by the league and HBO at a later date. This news was corroborated via @AdamSchefter.
