HBO’s NFL in-season Hard Knocks documentary series profiling the Miami Dolphins premieres November 21.  

Hard Knocks: In Season with the Miami Dolphins kicks off as the Dolphins prepare for their Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, with new episodes debuting every week through January 9, HBO said. Subsequent episodes of the series will air throughout the Dolphins’ playoff run.

The Dolphins are the third team to be profiled in-season as part of the Hard Knocks franchise, following the Arizona Cardinals last year and the Indianapolis Colts in 2021. This past summer, HBO’s traditional preseason Hard Knocks series profiled the New York Jets.

“It is thrilling for Hard Knocks to be back in season with the extraordinary team at NFL Films and the Miami Dolphins,” HBO documentary and family programming co-executive VPs Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller said in a statement. “There is no better way to give HBO and Max viewers an exclusive inside window into what it really takes for a coach and a team to fight to get back to the NFL playoffs.”
