Season 18 of HBO’s Hard Knocks shines the spotlight on the New York Jets. Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets is set to premiere on August 8, 2023, with new episodes of the five-episode season debuting on Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT.
“NFL Films has a long and storied relationship with the Jets, from the early days of the AFL and Joe Namath’s ‘#1’ salute after Super Bowl III, to The Sack Exchange, and the team’s first appearance on Hard Knocks in the midst of back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances,” said Patrick Kelleher, Executive Producer, NFL Films.
Kelleher added: “The 2010 Jets changed the profile and the success of Hard Knocks forever. That Jets team made football fun for fans. And now we are excited for a new partnership with this iconic organization and HBO to create another chapter in both NFL and television history filled with great personalities and a roster striving to reach new heights of success.”
Liev Schreiber returns as narrator for his 17th season.
