Especially since this starts July 2nd after the NBA and NHL playoffs while nothing besides the MLB is going on in sports.
It'll end just as the Olympics are starting and then lead into the pre-season one. The NFL is set on dominating the entire year with their content.

The NFL is set on dominating the entire year with their content. this is every sporting / entertainment entity's primary objective now. the individual human has 8,760 hours a year. the goal is to gobble up as much of that as entirely possible.

To be faaaiiirrr, the requirements for preseason Hard Knocks rule out the most interesting teams then the NFL selects one. I did just learn why better teams can be in the in-season version, though.
Either way, I'll watch while washing dishes and folding laundry, as is tradition. The actual production quality is undeniable. And nobody can tell me it wasn't great to watch an entire preseason hyping the Rodgers Jets with little storylines about Zach Wilson really turning a corner being able to learn from AARon who is genuinely trying to be less of an asshole to his fellow QB room and how zany Hackett is cause maybe he's just a misunderstood genius only for the reality of the season to unfold as it did. Even got to hear Aaron mock Wilson for being stupid enough to wear bluetooth earbuds when he should obviously know that bluetooth interferes with and scrambles your brain waves.

No other league has a fraction of a fraction of the success the NFL does at it though. They monopolize an entire day for over a third of the year.

I love hard knocks when it's interesting. I just can't think of a single interesting person on the Giants unless they want to invite Tommy DeVitos agent to be a main character

Just looked it up and it appears the available teams for preseason HK are Bears (most likely), Broncos (could be hilarious), or Saints (why?). Bears fans should be shook knowing that is the most tempting team from a league and HBO view.
Edit: Also, to kru's above post, in-season focuses more on the practices with solid time devoted to recapping each game, so I wouldn't be surprised if the focus of the offseason version is Daboll and Schoen building the team with substantial focus on rookies. Like I said, the production team for HK knows what they are doing, they'll do their damnedest to find the value. The worst seasons of HK are when they are forced to use teams like the Cowboys so you have to follow the most bland people like Dak and Zeke around while somehow try to do the impossible and make them appear interesting.

I have heard that the Bears have a wink wink deal with the league as a charter franchise that they don't have to do it and in exchange they play in London. Whether that changes who knows.

It's officially reached diminishing returns
Even as a Dolphins fan I didn't watch the in-season HK last year

I actually really liked the Dolphins one. Mike McDaniel was entertaining enough

I'm not a Chiefs fan but Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent, and I enjoy watching him do cool things. Totally fine with them getting primetime games.

They also have an injury prone backup and the QB they drafted is coming off a gruesome leg fracture.
There's a realistic chance we see a Tim Boyle caliber QB start for the Jets again in 2024.

With the Jets on MNF to start the season again we have the chance to see the absolute funniest thing in NFL history happen.
