Seattle Seahawks Schedule 2026: Full Slate, Dates, Times and TV
Games That Will Define the Seahawks’ Season
| Wk 1 vs Patriots | The NFL Kickoff Game on a Wednesday night, and a rematch of Super Bowl LX. Seattle raises a banner and then plays the team it beat for it. |
| Wk 7 vs Chiefs | Sunday night at Lumen Field. Kansas City missed the playoffs last season and this is the kind of measuring-stick game that decides where both teams actually are. |
| Wk 16 vs Rams | Christmas night at Lumen on FOX, the last of three Christmas Day games. Seattle then closes at the Rams in Week 18, so the division could turn on this pair. |
| Wk 15-18 | A Saturday in Philadelphia, Christmas at home, Carolina on the road, then the Rams again. Three of the last four are away from Lumen Field. |
Champions’ Schedule
Seattle went 14-3 last season and won Super Bowl LX. As champion it gets the Kickoff Game, and the league loaded the calendar with national windows to match.
Six Standalone Windows
The Wednesday opener, a Thursday night in Denver, a Sunday night, two Monday nights, a Saturday in Philadelphia and Christmas. Very little of this season airs opposite other games.
A New Play-Caller Again
Klint Kubiak left to become head coach of the Raiders, so Seattle opens with its fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons.
How the Schedule Sets Up
Seattle plays four of its first five inside the NFC West or against 2025 playoff teams, then gets a short week into Denver. The stretch from Week 7 through Week 10 is the giveaway: Kansas City on Sunday night, Chicago on Monday night, Arizona at home, then Las Vegas, all before a Week 11 bye that lands unusually late.
December is the hard part. San Francisco on the road, Dallas on Monday night, the Giants, then Philadelphia, the Rams on Christmas and the Rams again in Week 18. For the other side of the Week 5 and Week 12 matchups, see our San Francisco 49ers schedule page. Full league schedules and flexible-scheduling rules are published by the NFL.
The Bottom Line
Nine home games, a Wednesday-night title defense against the team Seattle beat in Super Bowl LX, Christmas night at Lumen, and the Rams twice in the last three weeks. The Seahawks get the most visible schedule in the league and a division race that may not settle until Week 18. Bookmark this page; results and Week 18 details are updated throughout the season.
