HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ is officially set to document our Seattle Seahawks as they kick off training camp, giving the entire league a front-row seat to how the Super Bowl LX champions are preparing to defend their title. This isn’t just any season for the cameras either, folks. It’s the first time since the program’s debut season in 2001 that ‘Hard Knocks’ has focused on a defending Super Bowl champion. Yeah, you heard that right, a quarter century of NFL action, and we’re the first champs back in the spotlight. Talk about pressure, right? But if any team can handle it, it’s our boys from the Emerald City.
Inside Look: Roster Battles and Big Questions in Renton
The new trailer, ‘Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Seattle Seahawks’, already dropped, giving us a taste of what’s coming. Training camp officially starts on July 25 in Renton, with our rookies reporting July 27 and the veterans rolling in a day earlier on July 24. Mark your calendars, because the five-episode series premieres Tuesday, August 4, at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and streams on HBO Max, continuing every Tuesday through September 1. Liev Schreiber is back on narration duties, and we’re ready for all the drama.
On the field, we’re bringing back our QB Sam Darnold, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba just got that new extension, which is huge for our receiving corps! But there’s a big question mark hanging over the backfield: our star running back Zach Charbonnet could be missing time as he recovers from ACL surgery. This opens the door wide open for our 2026 first-round pick, Jadarian Price. Can he step up and take that starting role? That’s one of the biggest training camp narratives we’ll be glued to. Plus, keep an eye on battles at right guard and the backup quarterback spot. It’s all happening in Renton through August 13.
Preseason Gauntlet and a Super Bowl Rematch
This ‘Hard Knocks’ journey takes us right through a tough preseason schedule. First up, we’ve got a lone home game at Lumen Field against the visiting Dallas Cowboys on August 15. Then, the team heads to Nashville for a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans on August 21, followed by a road preseason game against them on August 23. We wrap up the preseason on August 28 against the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s a serious test drive before the real action starts.
The ‘Hard Knocks’ finale airs just eight days before the regular season kicks off, and what a way to start the year! Our Seahawks open the regular season on September 9 with a Super Bowl rematch at home against the New England Patriots. We’ll be defending our title on day one, right in front of the 12s. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and with Hard Knocks showing us every step of the way, the entire league is about to see exactly what makes our Super Bowl LX champions tick. Get ready, Seattle, this is going to be epic!
