The new ownership group of the Seattle Seahawks, led by Vinod Khosla, Neal Khosla, and Neeru Khosla, assumed control of the franchise this week. The official introduction occurred as the team prepared to raise its latest Super Bowl banner before the 2026 season opener. Vinod Khosla stated that the current management, including general manager John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald, will remain in their positions without immediate interference from ownership. The group acquired the team for $9.6 billion from the estate of the late Paul Allen. While the new owners plan to maintain existing operations, they have confirmed the introduction of white throwback uniforms for the 2027 season. The franchise retains its lease at Lumen Field through 2032, with additional options extending beyond that date.
