"'Hard Knocks' follows one NFL team during training camp as they ramp up and embrace the grind of a new season. While 'Hard Knocks' has been broadcast since 2001, the Patriots have avoided the behind-the-scenes treatment over the years because of several broadcast rules that have been adjusted as of late."
"During the Patriots' two-decade run of dominance under Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, teams could turn down a starring role on 'Hard Knocks' if they made the playoffs during the prior year. Belichick was quick to shut down any chance of HBO cameras setting up shop at Gillette Stadium."
The New England Patriots will be featured on HBO's 'Hard Knocks' in 2027, marking the first time in franchise history. The Seattle Seahawks will appear in 2026.
