The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are the next 2 teams to be featured on Hard Knocks, a series that documents an NFL team’s training camp and preparations for the upcoming year before the start of regular season action.
Seattle, the defending Super Bowl champions, are on the docket for this offseason. The Seahawks are the first team since the Baltimore Ravens in 2001 to be featured on Hard Knocks after winning the Super Bowl the season prior. Keep in mind, there used to be a rule that stated the HBO series could not cover a team that reached the playoffs the season prior. That rule has since been changed, obviously.

Seattle is set to be strong once again in 2026, too. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and several members of a tough Seahawks defense will be back in the Emerald City, looking to defend their dominant run to the Super Bowl in 2025, where they beat the New England Patriots.
As mentioned, New England will be the Hard Knocks feature in 2027. The Patriots will be looking to continue the Hard Knocks champion streak too, as Drake Maye and Co. are set to be among the strongest teams in the NFL entering 2026.
Most recently, Hard Knocks covered the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
