A Game-By-Game Look At The Seahawks' 2026 Schedule

The Seahawks’ 2026 schedule was announced on Thursday, and it includes a franchise-record six primetime games, including the first Christmas game in franchise history. The Seahawks will play a total of 10 games against teams that made the postseason last year, including a Super Bowl LX rematch with the Patriots to open the season. For more on all 17 games, here is a game-by-game look at the Seahawks' 2026 schedule.

Week 2: at Arizona Cardinals, September 20, 1:25 p.m., FOX

The Cardinals will be looking to make an early statement that they're not afterthought in a loaded NFC West, while the Seahawks will be looking to improve upon an 11-1-1 road record over the Cardinals dating back to 2013. A fun subplot in this game will be the matchups between former Notre Dame teammates and 2026 first-round pick running backs Jadarian Price and Jeremiyah Love.

Week 3: at Washington Commanders, September 27, 10 a.m., FOX

The Seahawks are back in the Nation's capital for the second straight season, having rolled to a dominant win in 2025 behind a standout performance from quarterback Sam Darnold. Thanks to a plethora of primetime games as well as a schedule that includes the AFC West, this is one of only two 10 a.m. PT games on Seattle's schedule this year.

Week 4: vs. Los Angeles Chargers, October 4, 1:25 p.m., CBS

Harbaugh brothers John and Jim are both important figures in Mike Macdonald's career, and he'll face both of them this season, starting with this game against the Jim Harbaugh-led Chargers, who are looking to build off of consecutive 11-6 seasons that both ended in wild card-round exits.

Week 5: vs. San Francisco 49ers, October 11, 1:25 p.m., FOX

The Seahawks will look to continue their strong play against the 49ers, who failed to find the end zone against the Seahawks twice last January, both in a Week 18 loss with the NFC West title and No. 1 seed on the line, as well as in a divisional round loss in Seattle.

Week 7: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, October 25, 5:20 p.m., NBC

This one seemed destined to be played in primetime. Not only are the Chiefs the most successful team of this decade, led by an offense that features one of the league's biggest stars in quarterback Patrick Mahomes as well as future Hall of Fame tight end/Taylor Swift's fiancé Travis Kelce; they also will be coming to town with a new starting running back, Kenneth Walker III, who spent his first four seasons with the Seahawks, finishing on a high note by winning Super Bowl MVP honors earlier this year.

Week 8: vs. Chicago Bears, November 2, 5:15 p.m., ESPN

The Bears fell just short of facing the Seahawks in the NFC championship game, and figure to again be among the NFC's elite teams under the leadership of second-year head coach Ben Johnson and dynamic young quarterback Caleb Williams. This will be the Seahawks' third consecutive primetime game and second in a row at Lumen Field.

Week 13: vs. Dallas Cowboys, December 7, 5:15 p.m., ESPN

A Monday night game against the Cowboys would come with plenty of buzz no matter what, but some interesting connections between the teams add even more intrigue. The Cowboys are led by head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who was the Seahawks' offensive coordinator for three seasons from 2018-2020, while Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde has strong ties to the Cowboys, having began his NFL career as a coaching intern with Dallas in 2014, and having later served as the Cowboys' defensive line coach from 2021-2023 prior to joining the Seahawks in 2024. Seattle's defensive front also features a pair of former Cowboys in DeMarcus Lawrence and free-agent addition Dante Fowler Jr.

Week 14: vs. New York Giants, December 13, 1:25 p.m., FOX

Mike Macdonald will face his longtime boss in new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, who is new to New York after an impressive 18-year run in Baltimore. This matchup will feature two of the better defensive fronts in football, including a Seahawks line led by veteran standout Leonard Williams, who was traded from the Giants to the Seahawks in 2023.

Week 15: at Philadelphia Eagles, December 19, 2 p.m., FOX

While not in primetime, this is another stand-alone national game, pitting the last two Super Bowl champions against each other in a game between two NFC teams with high expectations. While the Eagles and Seahawks don't play regularly, the Seahawks have enjoyed a lot of success over the years when they do play each other, winning eight straight, postseason included, dating back to 2011.

Week 16: vs. Los Angeles Rams, December 25, 5:15 p.m. FOX

The Seahawks host the Rams for a Week 16 primetime game for the second year in a row, and will also be playing on Christmas for the first time in franchise history. After three down-to-the wire matchups between these teams helping define last season, it's hard to imagine that this game will be anything but another thriller between two of the league's best teams.

Week 17: at Carolina Panthers, January 3, 10 a.m., FOX

As was the case last season, the Seahawks travel to Carolina in Week 17 following a Week 16 game against the Rams. Carolina, led by former Seahawks assistant Dave Canales, is a young team that looks to be trending in the right direction after winning the NFC South last season, and figured to provide a good late-season test.

Week 18: at Los Angeles Rams, date/time/TV TBD

It had to come down to this, right? The Rams and Seahawks looked to be the clear top two teams in the league by the end of last season, and figure to again be heavyweight contenders again this year. As was the case when the Seahawks closed things out with the 49ers with the No. 1 seed on the line last year, this Week 18 NFC West showdown figures to come with very high stakes.
