Season 21 of Hard Knocks premiered Tuesday, 4 August 2026 at 9pm ET on HBO Max.
- S21E01Training Camp with the Seattle Seahawks - #1Head coach Mike Macdonald uses the 1990s Chicago Bulls team as an example of what happens when the entire team starts playing as one and getting everyone involved. This messaging is essentially what Macdonald is talking about with his "12 as One" mentality. Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp resonate with LeBron James' decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. A conversation between Macdonald and Emmanwori is a great look at Macdonald's mindset when it comes to outside opinions. In this episode, Emmanwori tells Macdonald that he wants to be out at practice with his teammates, but he doesn't want the fans to see him in a boot. Macdonald essentially says that outside noise doesn't matter and the most important thing is for Emmanwori to take care of what he needs to get healthy.
