description

In Hard Knocks the preseason of an annually changing NFL team is documented. The focus is on the multi-week training camp before the start of the season, which is about sifting out the 53-player squad plus the 10-player practice squad for the start of the season from the almost 100 players who are under contract on the first day of training . Recurring elements are everyday training, which makes no distinction between stars and supplementary players , the fight for the coveted squad positions, dealing with injury problems, the interaction between the many different personalities and the integration of rookies and other new players. The grief of those players who don't make it into the squad is often discussed, contrasted with the joy of those who actually make it.

  1. has participated in Hard Knocks for the past 10 years ,
  2. still has a coach who is starting his first year of service,
  3. reached the play-offs in the last two years .

For the first time Hard Knocks broadcast in Germany on October 23, 2013. On August 31, 2014, Sport1 US began airing the ninth season via the Atlanta Falcons . It was broadcast weekly on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m.

In July 2016 it became known that ProSiebenSat.1 Media had secured the rights to the eleventh season via the Los Angeles Rams . The broadcast began on August 14, 2016 on the ProSieben Maxx broadcaster and took place weekly in the night from Sunday to Monday. The reason for this step was the above-average success that the broadcaster achieved by broadcasting NFL games in the previous year.
