The Seattle Seahawks are set to feature on HBO's "Hard Knocks" for the first time ahead of the 2026 NFL season. A source confirmed the news, speaking anonymously as neither the Seahawks nor the NFL has officially announced it. This marks the 26th year of the series. The Seahawks previously avoided participation due to a playoff exemption rule that has since been changed.
Seattle faces compelling storylines as they gear up for the season. Key players, including Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, safety Coby Bryant, linebacker Boye Mafe, cornerback Riq Woolen, and wide receiver Dareke Young, have departed in free agency. The team now looks to replace Walker’s production. Options include Emanuel Wilson, signed after three years with the Green Bay Packers, along with George Holani and Kenny McIntosh. Coach Mike Macdonald remains optimistic about the return of injured running back Zach Charbonnet during the season.
In a related note, the New England Patriots, who faced the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, are expected to headline the 2027 edition of "Hard Knocks," per ESPN.
