The Seattle Seahawks will be put up for sale following Super Bowl LX, ending years of uncertainty regarding the franchise's future ownership. The news was first reported by Seth Wickersham and Brady Henderson of ESPN.
The move comes after years of questions surrounding the team's status following the 2018 death of former owner Paul G. Allen. Since his passing, the franchise has been overseen by the Paul G. Allen Trust, led by his sister, Jody Allen. The sale process is expected to begin formally after the conclusion of the 2025-2026 NFL season, according to the report.
The Seahawks have been one of the NFL's most stable franchises over the last two decades, but the terms of Allen's estate have long pointed toward an eventual sale of his professional sports holdings. Super Bowl LX is currently scheduled to take place in February 2026 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Potential buyers for the franchise have not yet been named, though the team is expected to command a record-breaking price tag given recent NFL team valuations.
