NFL Taps Seahawks to Be Featured on HBO’s 'Hard Knocks' for 1st Time in Team History, AP Source Says
The Seattle Seahawks will be featured for the first time in HBO's Hard Knocks series during their 2026 training camp, with five episodes starting in early August.
- On Monday, the Seattle Seahawks were selected to appear on HBO's Hard Knocks ahead of the 2026 NFL season, marking their first-ever appearance on the training camp documentary series.
- League rule revisions made 1 year ago eliminated the previous playoff exemption, rendering the Seahawks one of 16 eligible teams; former coach Pete Carroll had famously declined participation during his tenure.
- As defending Super Bowl champions, the Seahawks are the first titleholders featured on the series since its 2001 launch, with episodes typically running roughly 55 minutes each across five installments.
- Coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider lead the franchise following their Super Bowl victory, with the team adding Brian Fleury as new offensive coordinator for the upcoming season.
- The NFL announced the New England Patriots will be featured on the series in 2027, while the Seahawks are scheduled to open their regular season on Sept. 9 at home.
