The opponents come from the standard NFL scheduling formula: six NFC West games, four against the NFC East, four against the AFC West. As NFC West champions, Seattle also draws NFC North winner Chicago, NFC South winner Carolina and, as the 17th game, AFC East winner New England at home. That extra home date is why there are nine games at Lumen Field.
Key Matchups, Bye Week and Primetime Games
- Week 1, Wed Sep 9 vs New England. The Kickoff Game moved to Wednesday because the 49ers meet the Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday night, live on Netflix. This is the first Wednesday season opener since 2012 and a Super Bowl LX rematch. Seattle opens at home for the fifth straight season.
- Week 7 vs Kansas City. Sunday night against the team that signed Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III to a three year deal in March.
- Week 11 bye, Sun Nov 22. Ten games before it, seven after, then straight to Santa Clara.
- Week 16, Fri Dec 25 vs the Rams. The first Christmas game in franchise history and the nightcap of a tripleheader. Packers at Bears and Bills at Broncos stream on Netflix earlier in the day, so this is the only Christmas game on regular television.
- Week 18 at the Rams. A return to SoFi Stadium against the team Seattle beat 31 to 27 in the NFC Championship Game on January 25.
Six primetime games is a franchise record: Weeks 1, 7, 8, 13 and 16 at home, plus Thursday night at Denver in Week 6. Add the Saturday game in Philadelphia and Seattle has seven stand alone national windows before Week 18 is assigned. Ten of the 17 games come against 2025 playoff teams, eight different clubs in all, with the Rams and 49ers appearing twice each.
How to Watch the Seattle Seahawks Schedule on TV and Streaming
Across the 16 assigned games the split is FOX 9, CBS 2, NBC 2, ESPN 2 and Prime Video 1.
- FOX: nine games, including five NFC West fixtures and the Christmas meeting with the Rams
- CBS and Paramount+: the Chargers in Week 4 and the Raiders in Week 10
- NBC and Peacock: the Wednesday opener and Sunday Night Football in Week 7
- ESPN with ABC simulcast: Monday Night Football in Weeks 8 and 13
- Prime Video: Thursday Night Football at Denver in Week 6
YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, the English language Fubo plans and DIRECTV streaming packages all carry FOX, CBS, NBC and ESPN, which covers 15 of the 16 assigned games. Only the Week 6 Thursday game sits outside that, and it needs Amazon Prime. Check the channel lineup for your ZIP code first, because Fubo’s Latino plan and the cheaper DIRECTV genre packs do not include the full set.
NFL+ adds live local and primetime games on phone and tablet only. Out of market Sunday afternoon games still need NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube.
Free with an antenna: inside the Seattle market every assigned game reaches an antenna. Thirteen are on FOX, CBS or NBC, and league rules require Monday and Thursday night games to air on over the air stations in the home cities of both teams, which covers the rest. Outside Seattle you get whatever your local FOX and CBS affiliates pick, plus Sunday Night Football and the Monday games on ABC.
Local radio is Seattle Sports 710 AM and KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM, with Westwood One carrying games nationally.

Seattle finished 0 and 2 with a tie, though the starters played sparingly in all three games. August results rarely mean much: the 2025 team went 1 and 1 with a tie in preseason and then won the Super Bowl. Full league listings stay on our 2026 NFL preseason schedule page.
Roster and Coaching Changes Before Week 1
Mike Macdonald begins his third season after a franchise best 14 and 3 record, the NFC’s top seed and a 3 and 0 playoff run capped by a 29 to 13 win over New England in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium. Sam Darnold returns at quarterback, backed by Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe. Darnold started all 17 games in 2025 for 4,048 yards, 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, then went the whole postseason without a turnover.
- Backfield rebuilt. Kenneth Walker III signed with Kansas City, and Zach Charbonnet opens on the physically unable to perform list after ACL surgery, so he must miss at least four games. George Holani, Jadarian Price and Emanuel Wilson split the early carries.
- Receiver room loaded. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, ranked fifth on the NFL Top 100, plus Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton, who was limited in Week 1 practice with a hamstring issue.
- New offensive coordinator. Brian Fleury arrived from San Francisco to replace Klint Kubiak, now head coach of the Raiders. Aden Durde stays on defense and Jay Harbaugh on special teams.
- Safety is thin. Coby Bryant left for Chicago and Riq Woolen for Philadelphia. Nick Emmanwori made the 53 after ankle surgery but was limited in Week 1 practice, and Ty Okada sat out with a hamstring injury.
- New ownership. NFL owners unanimously approved the sale to the Khosla family, led by Vinod and Neeru Khosla, on August 26 at a record $9.612 billion.
Home games are at Lumen Field, which also hosted six FIFA World Cup matches in June and July. Single game tickets are sold through Ticketmaster via the club’s official ticket page.
