Bears Selected for HBO's 'Hard Knocks' This Season

It has finally happened. For the first time in Chicago Bears history, fans everywhere will get to see behind the curtain of the organization. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter , the Bears have been selected for the 2024 rendition of HBO's "Hard Knocks."

The New York Giants are the current participants in the offseason iteration of "Hard Knocks," but the show's training camp edition will feature the Bears.

Historically, the Bears have been able to dodge the bid . Now, the franchise will be front and center with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and an overhauled offensive group to complement the No. 1 overall pick.

The first episode of "Hard Knocks" featuring the Bears will air on HBO on Tuesday, Aug. 6.

There will be a mixed crowd within the fan base regarding the selection. Some Bears fans will be happy to see how training camp is going for a team with lots of promise, while others will hope it's not a distraction with many new faces. Ultimately, it'll be the first time the Bears have their full operation on display for the world to see.

The Bears will serve as the 24th participant in the series. With the recent season featuring an in-season team as well, the full history of "Hard Knocks" is laid out below.
