Offseason Edition of Hard Knocks to Return in 2027

HBO and NFL Films revealed on Wednesday that the offseason edition of Hard Knocks will make its return in 2027, marking the first time since 2024 that this format will be utilized.

This upcoming season will shift focus from a single team to an entire division, covering significant events such as the Scouting Combine, free agency, and the draft. The previous offseason edition centered on the Giants and their decisions regarding player contracts.

According to NFL Films senior executive Ross Ketover, the change aims to highlight the extensive efforts involved in roster building throughout the division from the end of one season to the start of training camp. The offseason format will replace the in-season series that has been airing since 2021.
