New Episode of HBO's HARD KNOCKS Debuts Tonight

On this week's episode of HBO's football reality series HARD KNOCKS WITH THE CINCINNATI BENGALS, veteran and up-and-coming linebackers compete for positioning on the team depth chart; as training camp accelerates, the Tennessee Titans of the AFC South visit Paul Brown Stadium for the Bengals' first pre-season home game. The episode debuts tonight, August 20th at 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT, with additional airings throughout the week.

Other hour-long episodes debut subsequent Tuesdays at the same time, with a Wednesday night replay at 11:00 p.m., culminating in the Sept. 3 season finale.

A 30-person NFL Films crew is shooting up to 1,500 hours of video over the course of the series. Camera and sound crews are given unrestricted access to the players' and coaches' meeting rooms, training facilities, living quarters and practice fields.
