Hard Knocks had a huge announcement on Wednesday.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Wednesday that the Buffalo Bills will be showcased on the 2025 version of HBO’s long-running documentary series, produced in conjunction with NFL Films.
He wasn’t finished, as he also added that all of the NFC East teams will be followed during the in-season portion of the docuseries.
This is the second year that the in-season version of the show follows an entire division, with the AFC North featured last year.
The league announced that Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills will premiere on August 5 on HBO Max.
The #Bills will be on Hard Knocks this summer for the training camp version.
The NFC East — Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Commanders — will be the Hard Knocks: In Season edition.

For the first time ever, the Washington Commanders will be part of HBO’s popular docuseries. The Washington Commanders were 12-5 last season, and their season ended with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, who are also making their first-ever appearance on the behind-the-scenes show.

The Cowboys will make their first appearance since their training camp feature in 2008, and the third appearance for the franchise in the show’s 24-year history, with their first coming in 2002.
This is the second straight year that the New York Giants will be involved after appearing last year in the offseason edition of Hard Knocks.
The Bills are going to be in the spotlight this summer as the featured team.
