The Seattle Seahawks will officially learn their Week 1 opponent for the 2026 NFL regular season when the full schedule is released this spring, according to Adam Schefter. The announcement is expected to coincide with the league-wide schedule reveal, which traditionally takes place in mid-May following the conclusion of the NFL Draft.
The reveal will clarify whether the Seahawks will begin their 2026 campaign at Lumen Field or travel for an away contest. In addition to the Week 1 opponent, the full release will provide the dates, kickoff times, and broadcast networks for all 17 regular-season games. This annual event serves as a major milestone in the NFL offseason, allowing teams and fans to begin preparations for the upcoming year.
The NFL typically announces the full regular season schedule in its entirety, including the Seahawks' slate of games, during a televised special. Until that time, the specific sequence of opponents for the 2026 season remains unconfirmed by the league office.
Further details regarding the exact date and time of the schedule release are expected to be announced by the league in the coming weeks.
