The Buffalo Bills will finally be showcased on HBO and NFL Films’ Hard Knocks: Training Camp. The documentary series will turn its cameras on the Bills’ during their 2025 NFL season training camp, with the new season set to premiere on August 5, 2025. New episodes of the five-episode season will air on Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT. NFL Films also announced the upcoming edition of Hard Knocks: In Season will spotlight the NFC East.
“We are thrilled to provide Hard Knocks fans a summer with the Bills and winter with the Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, and Eagles in the first year of our exciting new deal with NFL Films,” stated Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller, co-executive vice presidents HBO Documentary and Family Programming, and Bentley Weiner, senior vice president HBO Sports Documentaries. “There will be no shortage of star power.”
The NFL changed the rules prior to this season’s Hard Knocks, with teams now able to participate as long as they haven’t in the previous eight years. Playoff appearances no longer matter. Teams with a first-year head coach remain ineligible to participate.
“There aren’t many shows in history that have had a successful 25-year run,” said Ross Ketover, NFL Films senior executive. “We are thrilled that the partnership between NFL Films and HBO – which has captivated football fans for so long – will continue years into the future.”
Liev Schreiber will return to narrate both series.
