SEATTLE, Wash. – The Super Bowl LX defense starts now.
The Seattle Seahawks have their schedule set for the 2026-27 season, set for an NFC West, NFC, and Super Bowl championship title defense.
Week 1 starts with a bang: welcoming the New England Patriots to the Emerald City on an NFL schedule-opening Wednesday. The Super Bowl LX rematch in Week 1 is the third time in NFL history, the first since 2016, between Denver and Carolina.
Seattle then has back-to-back weeks at Arizona and Washington. The Seahawks have an impressive nine-game win streak against the Cardinals, the last loss in 2021. Seattle won three of the last four against Washington, including a 38-14 domination over the Commanders last year.
The Hawks then return home for consecutive West Coast games against the LA Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. Seattle’s last home win vs. LA came in 2010, and they’ve made quite a habit out of throttling SF, whether at Lumen Field or Lumen Field South.
Seattle has a Thursday Night Football matchup for Week 6 at the Denver Broncos, the Seahawks winning four of the last five meetings, including Super Bowl XLVIII. Sunday Night Football primetime is next week, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and a possibly recovered Patrick Mahomes under center. Week 8 completes the primetime trifects with Monday Night Football versus the Chicago Bears.
Heading into the back half of the season, Seattle opens with Arizona at home, before a trip to rookie Fernando Mendoza’s Las Vegas Radiers, then a Week 11 bye week before a trip to Seattle’s home away from home: San Francisco.
Seattle’s second MNF comes against the red-hot Dallas Cowboys offense and ice-cold defense, with the Seahawks looking to improve. The Cowboys have the Seahawks’ number recently, winning four of the last six meetings, but Seattle won the last meeting in 2023.
The Seahawks then meet the New York Giants at home for the last Seattle Sunday game, before hitting the road again against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, Dec. 19.
The final three weeks of the season feature an LA Rams sandwich with a Carolina Panthers middle. Seattle played Los Angeles in Week 16 last season, too.
The schedule is a typical first-place finish level of difficulty, but Seattle is only the 14th-hardest in the league, far below the hardest, Chicago.
Seattle has quite the challenge ahead in December, as the Cowboys-Giants-Eagles-Rams stretch is from the 7th to Christmas Day. That’s a game every 4.5 days!
Only four of nine home games are on a Sunday afternoon, and Seattle plays a game on every day of the week except Tuesday.
