Hard Knocks: In Season with the NFC East will debut in December with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Commanders and reigning Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles, following some of the most storied teams and biggest names in football during the final stretch of the NFL season and into the playoffs. The Cowboys' Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, the Giants' Russell Wilson and Malik Nabers, Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin of the Commanders, and Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley of the Eagles are among the stars to be featured in the series. This will be the second edition of the division format, following Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North in 2024.

Hard Knocks: In Season with The AFC North will document the battle for the AFC North crown during the final six weeks of the NFL season, as well as a playoff run for the division-winner and any AFC North Wild Card teams. The 18-time Emmy®-winning series will deliver its signature all-access coverage as it follows the Mike Tomlin-coached Pittsburgh Steelers, who have never been featured on "Hard Knocks" in the history of the series, as well as coach John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens, coach Zac Taylor's Cincinnati Bengals, and coach Kevin Stefanski's Cleveland Browns. Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields will share the "Hard Knocks" spotlight with Derrick Henry, Ja'Marr Chase, Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, and an array of other AFC North star players.
