HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series will be on-demand viewing for Buffalo Bills fans this summer. HBO has released the episode airing dates for the documentary series following the Bills throughout this year’s training camp.
HBO will release the first episode of the series on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at 9 p.m. Viewers may also stream the episodes on HBO Max. Each subsequent episode will be released weekly on Tuesday night, culminating with the season finale on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
The 2025 edition of the series, officially titled “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills,” will explore Buffalo’s ramp-up to another highly anticipated season. Buffalo is the favorite to win the AFC East, and the Bills are among the top bets to make a run to the Super Bowl.
The episodes will provide an all-access look at the team, both on and off the field.
Quarterback Josh Allen, who will undoubtedly be a focal point of the show, isn’t worried about the cameras at training camp. “This is what a good organization looks like, and people are going to get a sneak peek into that and just how we operate.” Allen adds, “So again, you can kind of think two ways about it, but we’re taking the way of like, hey, let’s just do what we do and whatever is shown is shown.”
Several other storylines may be of interest to producers. The series can explore what the Bills need to do to finally get over the hump and win their first AFC Championship since 1993.
Additionally, there are several interesting subplots. Running back James Cook, in search of a new contract, is fully participating in activities. Buffalo’s new-look defensive line, with several new additions via the draft and free agency, will be something to watch as well.
Beyond the sidelines, safety Damar Hamlin, who has advocated for youth safety and resources since his cardiac arrest in January 2023, was present when New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation for youth sports organizations to have AEDs (automatic defibrillator devices) and implementation plans for youth events.
