The Seattle Seahawks are scheduled to open their 2026 season on Wednesday night at Lumen Field against the New England Patriots. This matchup serves as a Super Bowl LX rematch, marking the first time the two teams have met since the championship game last February in Santa Clara. While the Seahawks organization has emphasized a focus on moving forward from their title defense, the team will celebrate their previous success with a pre-game banner unfurling. Seattle heads into the opener with roster adjustments, including the return of safety D'Anthony Bell to the practice squad and the inclusion of receiver Montorie Foster Jr. on the active 53-man roster. Tight end AJ Barner indicated he expects to be available for the game, though the team faces uncertainty regarding the availability of rookie Jadarian Price, who has not played since November.
