NFL's Workplace Drama: Offseason Hard Knocks Returns
26 Aug
Summary
- Offseason edition of Hard Knocks returns for filming after 2026 season.
- New format will follow an entire NFL division, not a single team.
- Show expands the 'workplace drama' concept beyond individual teams.

The popular docuseries Hard Knocks is set to revive its offseason edition, with HBO Max and NFL Films bringing the show back for filming after the 2026 NFL season. This revived format will deviate from its previous single-team focus.
Instead, the series will document the operations of an entire NFL division. This approach mirrors NFL Films' existing in-season docuseries format, offering a broader perspective on the league's front office and coaching activities.
Executives view the offseason installment as a way to expand the series' appeal, likening the NFL's inner workings to a compelling 'workplace drama.' The show will highlight the crucial, behind-the-scenes efforts that take place from the conclusion of one season through the beginning of training camp.
