The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be featured on this summer's addition of the HBO training camp docuseries Hard Knocks, followed by their Super Bowl LX opponent, the New England Patriots, in summer 2027, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday (March 30).
"The Seahawks will be featured on this summer’s Hard Knocks. The Patriots will be featured on the 2027 summer Hard Knocks. The two teams in this past season’s Super Bowl will take center stage again the next two summers," Schefter wrote along with a photo of both teams' helmets on the field prior to Super Bowl LX.
This summer's edition of Hard Knocks will mark the first time the show featured a defending Super Bowl champion since the Baltimore Ravens in its 2001 debut season. The Seahawks will look to become back-to-back Super Bowl champions, a feat accomplished by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, the first team since the Patriots in 2004.
Seattle signed wide receiver and reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba to a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension last week and have found success with veteran quarterback Sam Darnold, who was acquired in free agency last offseason. The Seahawks defeated the Patriots, 29-13, and the two teams are scheduled to play during the 2026 NFL regular season at a date to be determined.
