We are less than two weeks away from the start of Detroit Lions training camp and to say the excitement around these parts is growing would be an understatement.
But this year’s training camp is going to be extra special for the fans as the Lions will be featured on HBO’s docuseries, Hard Knocks.
The initial episode of Hard Knocks will air on HBO on Tuesday, August 9 at 10 p.m. ET.
“As Hard Knocks enters its third decade inside NFL training camps, we are both thrilled and thankful for the opportunity to feature a historic franchise like the Lions,” said NFL Films vice president and senior coordinating producer, Ken Rodgers. “The city, the culture and the coaching staff in Detroit all have an exciting energy that will make the show must-watch television this summer.”
“We are excited about the opportunity to showcase the City of Detroit and the amazing culture we are building at the Lions,” said Detroit Lions Team President and CEO, Rod Wood. “HBO Sports and NFL Films are the best of the best and we know they will be excellent partners in sharing our story with football fans around the world.”
HBO gives Detroit Lions fans great news about Hard Knocks
But what about those of you who no longer have cable but want to stream Hard Knocks on HBO Max? Will the episodes be released to stream at the same time they air on HBO?
Jeremy Reisman recently reached out to HBO Max Help on Twitter about what time the new Hard Knocks episodes will be available for streaming and Lions fans will love the response.
“Hi Jeremy, thanks for your inquiry! Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Detroit Lions premieres August 9 at 10 PM EST/9 PM CST and should be available on the #HBOMax around the same time that it airs on HBO. Thanks!”
This is obviously great news for those of us who have cut the cable and want to stream the episodes of Hard Knocks.
Nation, what are you most looking forward to seeing on Hard Knocks, which will feature our Detroit Lions?
