The Emmy Award-winning Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets makes its NFL Network debut Sunday, July 3 at 11:00 PM ET, immediately following the series finale of The Top 100: Players of 2011.
The sixth season of the "Hard Knocks" franchise chronicling the 2010 Jets preseason garnered NFL Films producers a trio of Emmys in 2010, including a repeat win in the Outstanding Edited Sports Series/Anthology category as well as honors for Outstanding Camera Work and Outstanding Post Produced Audio/Sound.
There was no shortage of storylines surrounding the Jets who, led by head coach Rex Ryan, had high expectations heading into the preseason following a 9-7 finish in 2009 that included a run to the AFC Championship Game led by then-rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez. While the Jets fell short of their charismatic head coach's Super Bowl guarantee, their season on Hard Knocks was one of the most memorable in the series' six seasons, becoming the most-watched season ever for the NFL Films-produced series.
Following the debut of episode one July 3 at 11:00 PM ET and encore showing July 4 at 8:00 PM ET, the remaining four Jets episodes will debut chronologically, with one episode per night beginning Sunday, July 4th through Thursday, July 7th, all at 9:00 PM ET. An encore of the entire season airs Sunday, July 10th beginning at Noon ET.
The network debut of Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets also kicks off the Hard Knocks 4th of July marathon, re-airing three full seasons of the critically-acclaimed NFL Films-produced series. Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2007 kicks off the marathon Monday at 4:00 AM ET, followed by the 2008 Dallas Cowboys at 9:00 AM ET and the Cincinnati Bengals from 2009 beginning at 2:00 PM ET.
Hard Knocks documents the daily challenges and interactions that come with a career in professional football. Each season focuses on a specific team, giving viewers a unique and candid glance into the lives of their favorite players and coaches. Episodes offer a captivating behind-the-scenes look into the highs and lows of preseason training, all while displaying the superior film quality and sound of an NFL Films product.
