The Chicago Bears are the subject of this year’s “Hard Knocks” series on HBO, the team announced Thursday.
This season’s first episode will air Aug. 6. Chicago is the first team with a rookie quarterback drafted first overall to be selected for the training camp edition of “Hard Knocks” since the Cleveland Browns with Baker Mayfield in 2018.
“We are honored to feature such an iconic NFL franchise on ‘Hard Knocks,’” NFL Films senior director and supervising producer Shannon Furman said in a statement. “The Chicago Bears have a talented roster, coaching staff, and front office all determined to match the expectations of a hungry fan base. We are thankful to the entire organization for opening their doors to us for what is sure to be an exciting training camp.”
The Bears were one of the NFL’s most interesting teams this offseason, as they drafted Caleb Williams first overall in April.
