SEATTLE — The Seahawks will begin the 2026 regular season with a rematch of the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots and end it with a rematch of the NFC Conference championship game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Along the way, the Seahawks will play their first game in franchise history on Christmas (also against the Rams) as well as games on every day of the week other than Tuesday.

The Seahawks will play six prime-time games beginning with the Wednesday night Sept. 9 opener against the Patriots, the official NFL season kickoff game.

The prime-time affairs include the Christmas game against the Rams, which is also the first of two games against L.A. in the final three weeks of the season, the other being the season finale at SoFi Stadium.

The Seahawks hope that game can serve as some happy déjà vu. A year ago, the Seahawks ended the regular season with a win against the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium and returned there for the Super Bowl.

They can try to pull off the same feat this year as the Super Bowl is set for SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14.

While the Seahawks have known since January their home-and-away opponents, full schedules with dates, gametimes and TV/streaming designations were finally unveiled Thursday.

The Seahawks play nine home games against eight road games (as does everyone in the NFC this year).

That includes three in a row at home at midseason against the Chiefs, Bears and Cardinals.

The Seahawks begin with two of three on the road and end with three of four on the road.

Other highlights include:

— A return to Levi’s Stadium and the scene of the Super Bowl win Nov. 29 for the second of two games against the 49ers (the other coming on Oct. 11 at Lumen Field).

— A visit from the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes — and the return of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III — on Oct. 25.

— A visit from the emerging Chicago Bears and a reunion with safety Coby Bryant on Monday night, Nov. 2.

— The Seahawks’ first-ever regular-season game in Las Vegas against the Raiders and former offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak on Nov. 15.

— A Monday night game against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field on Dec. 7. The game will also serve as a reunion for Seahawks defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence against the team for which he played for 11 seasons before coming to Seattle last season and a return to Lumen for former Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, now the Cowboys’ head coach.

— A home game with the New York Giants on Dec. 13 that will be the first career coaching matchup for Mike Macdonald against his mentor, John Harbaugh, who is taking over in New York after 18 years in Baltimore.

— And a Saturday night game at Philadelphia against former Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen on Dec. 19.

The schedule also includes what seems like a well-timed bye on Week 11 (Sunday, Nov. 22). Their bye last year came in Week 8.

The Seahawks learned officially on Wednesday that they will not play an international game this season.

They play 10 games against teams that made the playoffs last season, tied with Denver for the most in the NFL.
