The Hardy Boyz or The Hardys are a professional wrestling tag team. The team members are real-life brothers Matt and Jeff Hardy. The brothers currently wrestle for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where they are the TNA World Tag Team Champions in their third reign. The Hardy Boyz are best known for competing in the World Wrestling Federation/WWE. They were known for competing in ladder and TLC matches. They also worked for All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The team first started in independent promotions around North Carolina in 1993.

The team signed with the WWF (later WWE) in 1998.[5] They joined Gangrel to form The New Brood in August 1999.[6] During their time in the WWF, they were managed by Terri for a short time[7] before they were managed full-time by their real-life friend Lita. When Lita joined, the team was known as "Team Xtreme".[5] They split up in 2002 and reunited in 2006 to feud with MNM before they decided to focus on singles competition. Jeff left the company in August 2009[8] and Matt left in late 2010.[9]

They both reunited in January 2011 in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) where they were members of the Immortal stable.[10] Matt was released from the company in August 2011 after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated.[11] They reunited in 2014 and became two-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.[12][13] In 2017, they returned to WWE at WrestleMania 33, and stayed there until 2021.[14] They started teaming in AEW the following year,[15] and returned to Impact in 2024, winning their third World Tag Team Championship.[16][17]
