Seahawks Kickoff 2026 Season on Wednesday

0:00It's March 25th. This is NFL News. Today, AI powered stories shaping the season. The Seattle Seahawks now have a firm date for their first game of the 2026 regular season. They'll take the field on Wednesday, September 9th at 5 p.m. Pacific time. This marks their earliest kickoff in league history for a Wednesday night matchup. The unusual timing comes from the NFL's international plans. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will face off in Australia so their game slots for Thursday night here to match the time. Difference for U.S. viewers, that pushes Seattle into the Wednesday spotlight. Fans have been buzzing about this for weeks, ever since early reports surf as back in mid-March. It's not a total surprise, but is still amps up excitement for what's ahead. The opponent remains a mystery until the full schedule drops later this spring. We do know it won't be the Rams or 49ers. That leaves options like the Chiefs, Chargers, Bears, Cowboys, Cardinals, Patriots or Giants.
