"Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Detroit Lions" will be the 17th edition of the critically acclaimed sports reality series.
"We are excited about the opportunity to showcase the City of Detroit and the amazing culture we are building at the Lions," said Detroit Lions Team President and CEO, Rod Wood. "HBO Sports and NFL Films are the best of the best and we know they will be excellent partners in sharing our story with football fans around the world."
Filming will begin at the Lions' training camp in Allen Park in the next few months and will focus on the daily lives and routines of the players and coaches.
"As Hard Knocks enters its third decade inside NFL training camps, we are both thrilled and thankful for the opportunity to feature a historic franchise like the Lions," said NFL Films Vice President and Senior Coordinating Producer, Ken Rodgers.
