HBO Max Revives Offseason 'Hard Knocks' for 2026

HBO Max and NFL Films are set to bring back the offseason version of their acclaimed series 'Hard Knocks' in 2026. After a successful debut in 2024, which followed the New York Giants' management through free agency and the NFL Draft, the next edition will take a broader approach, focusing on an entire NFL division.

This new format aims to highlight the intricate workings of team building, showcasing the behind-the-scenes efforts from the end of one season until training camp begins. NFL Films executives noted that the offseason series has transformed football into a 'workplace drama' with unique challenges.

Currently, 'Hard Knocks: Training Camp' featuring the Seattle Seahawks is airing, and the New England Patriots are lined up for next year's training camp edition.
