The Buffalo Bills will make their “Hard Knocks” debut on HBO this summer, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Wednesday.
Also, Goodell announced that the NFC East will be featured on the in-season edition of Hard Knocks, the long-running documentary series that began chronicling NFL teams in training camp with behind-the-scenes access in 2001. The in-season version debuted in 2021.
The Bills’ five-part documentary will premiere on Aug. 5 on HBO and Max. Both series will be narrated by Liev Schreiber.
The Bills fit the criteria for selection: They don’t have a first-year coach; they haven’t appeared in the last eight years; and they won’t be part of the in-season edition in the next two seasons, which means the AFC East will not be featured in 2026.
Nine teams were automatically eliminated as choices for this summer, given their appearances over the last eight years: Chicago Bears (2024), New York Jets (2023), Detroit Lions (2022), Dallas Cowboys (2021), Los Angeles Chargers (2020), Los Angeles Rams (2020), Raiders (2019), Cleveland Browns (2018) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2017).
