HBO and NFL Films have set the teams they will follow in their Hard Knocks series for the 2025 NFL season.
Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills will premiere on Tuesday, August 5, at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes of the five-part series will premiere every Tuesday.
Hard Knocks: In Season with the NFC East will premiere in December and follow the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants, the Washington Commanders, and the Dallas Cowboys.
It’s the first time the Buffalo Bills are featured in Hard Knocks, which will chronicle Head Coach Sean McDermott and General Manager Brandon Beane as they lead their team in the new NFL season. Cameras will capture veteran and rookie players during training camp at St. John Fisher University in Pittsford, New York. Quarterback Josh Allen recently won the 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player award.
Hard Knocks: In Season will feature the NFC East division, home to the Philadelphia Eagles, the current Super Bowl champions. The Cowboys’ Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, the Giants’ Russell Wilson and Malik Nabers, Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin of the Commanders, and Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley of the Eagles are among the stars to be featured in the series. This will be the second edition of the division format, following Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North in 2024.
