"Hard Knocks" returns for its 2026 season, this time following the Seattle Seahawks through training camp ahead of the 2026-27 NFL season, after the team's recent Super Bowl win. The documentary series follows the previous season's focus on the Buffalo Bills, and remains a popular way for fans to get behind-the-scenes access to a team's pre-season preparations.

The first of five episodes airs on Tuesday, 4 August at 9pm ET/6pm PT on HBO, with subsequent instalments broadcasting weekly until 1 September. It can be streamed on-demand via HBO Max, with subscriptions starting at $10.99 a month, or bundled with Hulu and Disney+ from $19.99 a month. Viewers without HBO Max can access it through DirecTV's "Premier" package, which includes a five-day free trial before charges of $129.99 for the first month ($169.99 thereafter).
