Overview

The Seattle Seahawks entered the 2026 season as defending Super Bowl LX champions. Training camp at the VMAC in Renton was captured for the franchise’s first appearance on HBO’s five‑episode Hard Knocks series, which premiered on August 4 and ran weekly through September 1. The show follows head coach Mike McDaniel, quarterback Sam Darnold, and stars including Jaxon Smith‑Njigba, Devon Witherspoon, Byron Murphy II and linebacker Derick Hall. Notable moments include a Navy Blue Angels fly‑over, a practice scuffle involving Hall, Hall’s arrival in a modified truck that struck an HBO camera, and Darnold briefly dropping his Super Bowl ring. The series also reveals contract talks for Hall’s $42 million extension and ongoing negotiations for Witherspoon’s long‑term deal. On the field, the Seahawks face a schedule with a franchise‑record six primetime games, opening with a rematch against the Patriots and featuring a Christmas‑night clash with the Los Angeles Rams, while the team finalizes the ownership transition to Vinod Khosla’s investment group and decides on a new lead‑back after Kenneth Walker III’s departure.
