HBO will be debuting a very special in-season edition of Hard Knocks on Tuesday — “Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North” — featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.

This marks the first time that HBO Hard Knocks has ever featured an entire division before (in any rendition of the program, including training camp) and the first time that the Steelers will be featured as the only AFC North team yet to appear on the program. The program’s debut back in 2001 featured the Ravens, while the Bengals have been featured twice (2009, 2013) and the Browns once back in 2018.

Steelers fans, in particular, will want to tune into the program, as Pittsburgh is bound to be a frequent focus of the show, with all six of their matchups against fellow AFC North opponents scheduled following their Week 9 bye. They’re also arguably the most intriguing storyline to emerge in the NFL this season, let alone in the AFC North, between their change at QB, new OC Arthur Smith and growing skepticism that the team could manage a revival on offense after a troublesome run in the post-Ben Roethlisberger era.

Here’s a look at how to tune into the Steelers on Hard Knocks tonight (and every Tuesday heading into the 2025 playoffs).
