HBO 'Hard Knocks' schedule 2020: When, how to watch, stream training camp with Rams & Chargers - Sporting News

hard.indah.link

There will be no NFL preseason games in 2020, but there will still be another season of "Hard Knocks." Despite new safety measures in place for NFL training camps because of COVID-19, NFL Films' documentary series is back for a 15th television season on HBO.

This time, for the first time, two teams will be featured — the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers. The two teams' L.A. training camp stories will share the spotlight ahead of the teams starting play in their new joint venue, SoFi Stadium, for the 2020 NFL regular season.

So "Hard Knocks" is going bigger, but will it be better? On the surface, the Rams and Chargers are far from the league's most compelling teams as borderline playoff contenders. With the entire preseason schedule wiped out, however, "Hard Knocks" will be the NFL's only televised action before the Week 1 opener, helping their cases.

The Rams have lost some star power since their Super Bowl 53 run. Their most intriguing camp battle on the field is at running back, where rookie Cam Akers is trying to succeed Todd Gurley. They also have one huge defensive presence in Aaron Donald and a huge defensive personality in Jalen Ramsey. Coach Sean McVay's smart-talking offensive mind also should provide a few gems.

The Chargers are undergoing a quarterback transition with their coach, Anthony Lynn, as Tyrod Taylor takes over from Philip Rivers with rookie first-round pick Justin Herbert waiting closely in the wings. They have some good offensive skill around QB, but like the Rams, their two brightest stars are on defense, Joey Bosa and Derwin James.

The "Hard Knocks" film crew and editors will need to figure out how to get the best out the 18-time Emmy-winning series over the next several weeks. Who will get more screen time, the Rams or the Chargers? NFL reality TV fans will be most interested to find out:
