The Seattle Seahawks' full 2026 schedule has finally dropped, and while we're still months away from kickoff at Lumen Field, it's never too early to start making predictions. As the reigning Super Bowl champions prepare for year three under head coach Mike Macdonald, let's break down what each matchup could mean for their title defense.
Week 1: Seahawks vs. Patriots
Fresh off their Super Bowl 60 victory, the Seahawks should handle New England in the season opener. The Patriots will be more battle-tested than last season, but Seattle remains the team to beat until proven otherwise. Expect a comfortable win by one or two scores to start the year 1-0.
Week 2: Seahawks at Cardinals
Seattle owns a nine-game winning streak against Arizona dating back to 2021, and they haven't lost in Glendale since 2020. With the Cardinals breaking in first-time head coach Mike LaFleur, this looks like another uphill battle for the Redbirds. The Seahawks should extend their desert dominance.
Week 3: Seahawks at Commanders
For the second straight year, Seattle heads to Northwest Stadium to face Washington—just earlier in the season. Jayden Daniels is expected to be healthy, but we've seen what this Seahawks defense can do against him. Expect another win over old friend Dan Quinn and his squad.
Week 4: Seahawks vs. Chargers
Jim Harbaugh's Chargers have been stuck in neutral—good enough for playoff appearances but not for making noise once they get there. Los Angeles ranked 20th in scoring last season and managed just three points in a wild-card loss. Seattle can exploit those offensive struggles and secure another home win.
Week 5: Seahawks vs. Division Foe
The NFC West rivalry continues at Lumen Field, where the Seahawks have historically thrived. With Macdonald's defensive schemes and an offense built for efficiency, Seattle looks poised to protect their home turf and maintain their divisional edge.
As the schedule unfolds, one thing is clear: this Seahawks team has the talent, coaching, and championship pedigree to make another deep run. Whether you're gearing up for game day or just dreaming of another Lombardi Trophy, the 2026 season is shaping up to be one for the ages.
