The Chicago Bears are set to be one of the most-watched teams of the upcoming NFL season, and now, they’re set to be one of the most-watched teams of the preseason as well.

On Thursday, it was announced that the Bears were set to be the subject of this year’s “Hard Knocks” documentary series on HBO, with NFL Films cameras following the team through training camp, roster cuts, and the preseason.

The news means that NFL fans will get an inside look at first overall draft pick Caleb Williams as he takes the reins of the Chicago offense and looks to turn the fortunes of the franchise.

It’s the first time a first overall pick has been featured on “Hard Knocks” since the show followed the Cleveland Browns and No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield in 2018. 

In addition to Williams, many other new faces on the Bears offense are set to feature prominently in the series, as Chicago has totally revamped its attack in the offseason.

This year’s “Hard Knocks” will begin airing episodes on August 6, and track the Bears’ journey through the preseason.
