The Seattle Seahawks are a surprise pick for the league to be the featured team on the training camp documentary.
Months after winning Super Bowl LX against the New England Patriots, the Seahawks will be the featured team for HBO's Hard Knocks, which will premiere this summer. ESPN insider Adam Schefter was the first to report the news.
The Patriots will be featured on the 2027 summer Hard Knocks. It's a bit of a surprise to see the Seahawks as the feature team on Hard Knocks because there used to be a rule that would prevent a playoff team from being the team featured in the documentary. However, there was a revision to the rules in 2025. According to the revision, the only exemptions that the league has created are teams that have not been featured on the Hard Knocks: Training Camp edition for the previous eight seasons , does not have a first-year head coach, and is not exempt from from selection based on club participation in "Hard Knocks" or a similar access show prior to 2025 pursuant to parameters that existed at the time of such club's prior participation. The Seahawks do not fit any of these categories, so that makes them eligible to participate in the program. It's not a surprise that the league would want the Seahawks to be the featured team on Hard Knocks because they have a lot of intriguing storylines going into the year, especially as the defending Super Bowl champions.as the highest-paid wide receiver in the league, based on his new four-year, $168.6 million extension that he signed in the offseason. On top of that, the team has a new offensive coordinator in Brian Fleury, so there will be some adjustments to make on that side of the ball.Other players like wide receiver Jake Bobo, quarterback Sam Darnold and linebacker Ernest Jones IV could also be featured heavily on the series for their connections to the team. The season is expected to last five episodes and start in the first week of August. Fans can watch the documentary on HBO or stream it on the HBO Max app.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several On SI sites.
