SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks have unveiled their 2026 schedule, giving fans plenty to look forward to. They start strong with a Super Bowl LX rematch against the New England Patriots on Wednesday night. This year, they have a record six primetime games, including five at Lumen Field.
Two exciting matchups will spotlight players the Seahawks let go in free agency. In Week 7, they’ll face Kenneth Walker III and the Kansas City Chiefs, followed by a showdown against safety Coby Bryant and the Chicago Bears in Week 8. They’ll also meet cornerback Riq Woolen and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15 during a special Saturday game.
Another thrilling moment comes on Christmas night when they host the Los Angeles Rams, a rematch of the NFC Championship Game. They’ll play the Rams again two weeks later, closing the regular season with high stakes.

The Seahawks face the 14th hardest schedule in the league, with opponents boasting a .514 winning percentage from 2025. Betting insights show a projected win total of 10.5 from DraftKings, while ESPN analyst Mike Clay suggests around 11.2 wins.
Experts say the Seahawks will get plenty of attention this season. Recently, discussions have surfaced about their international games since they haven’t played overseas since 2022. Six primetime games will help avoid excessive travel compared to last season, when they were among the teams logging the highest travel miles.
Fans should mark their calendars for Weeks 16 and 18. This unconventional scheduling means the Seahawks won’t face the Rams until Christmas night, followed by their rematch at SoFi Stadium. Past seasons hint at dramatic finishes — last year, their games were nail-biters decided by just a few points. Betting lines still favor the Rams for the Super Bowl, but the Seahawks are close behind.
In other news, the Seahawks’ co-RB1 is recovering from ACL surgery. Typically, such injuries keep players out for most of the season. But the team is optimistic about his recovery, especially after investing a first-round draft pick into running back Jadarian Price. If he can return by December, it would be a game-changer for the Seahawks, who thrive on a strong run game.
This season holds promise, with fresh matchups and high stakes that could keep fans on the edge of their seats.
