Where to watch Hard Knocks In Season? Full streaming guide to the NFL docuseries

The latest season of Hard Knocks premiered on HBO/Max on December 3, 2025. Ever since its premiere, the latest season of Hard Knocks has been airing new episodes every Tuesday in keeping with the NFL season and will continue to do so until the NFL playoffs are held in January 2025.

Viewers can watch Hard Knocks by tuning in to either HBO or Max in the United States.

For those viewers who do not have access to cable television or to the streaming platform, several direct-to-television platforms such as FuboTV and Sling could be used.

Alternatively, viewers can also use a VPN to access Hard Knocks from their area in case of residence outside the United States. As of this writing, the makers of Hard Knocks haven't officially made any announcement regarding the availability of the docuseries in either the UK or Canada.

Traditionally, ever since the debut of the sports show back in 2001, it has focused on one single team competing in the NFL games. However, the latest season marks a remarkable departure from the set pattern to the extent that this time the show will focus on an entire division - the AFC North. Here's all that we know.

What's the latest buzz around Hard Knocks?

As mentioned earlier, the latest season of the sports docuseries is special in the sense that it won't focus entirely on any one team competing in the NFL games. Previously, it was the norm for the docuseries to chronicle behind-the-scenes coverage for any one particular team.

By combining unseen moments from the team's training sessions, to highlighting the journeys of the individual players, the docuseries managed to offer an exclusive sneak peek into behind-the-scenes material for sports fans.

The latest season of the show highlights the entire division of AFC North. The four teams that are under this division include the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns, and the Cincinnati Bengals.

This is also the first time that the Steelers are appearing on the show. Keith Cossrow, the Vice President and the Head of Content at NFL films revealed this during the In Season announcement made last year:

"Last season the AFC North became the first division ever to have all four teams finish with a winning record, making it the perfect place to launch this new approach to ‘Hard Knocks.’ We thank the Bengals, Browns, Ravens, and Steelers for the opportunity to showcase some of the greatest rivalries in football and present the intensity of a playoff chase from all four corners of this incredibly competitive division.”

Hard Knocks is now streaming on Max.
