2025 NFL schedule release: Predicting who the Seahawks will play in Week 1 to...
The Seattle Seahawks did well the only other time they got to kick off the NFL regular season.
After Seattle’s first Super Bowl championship, they hosted the Green Bay Packers in the opening game of the 2014 season. In an NFC championship game rematch from the previous season, the Seahawks beat the Packers 36-16. The NFL is hoping for a more competitive game this season when the Seahawks kick off the season at home, a perk of being the defending Super Bowl champions.
Seattle has a fun schedule and a lot of good options for the NFL to pick from for that Week 1 game, which will be on Wednesday, Sept. 9. The Seahawks have nine home games this season and we know their opponents, though two potential opponents will be on the other side of the world. Let’s try to predict who Seattle will play to kick off the 2026 NFL regular season.
Normally, the NFL might consider the Rams or 49ers for the first game, even though it’s rare for the league to make it a divisional game. Since 2004, when the defending champions were first featured in the kickoff game, there have been only three divisional games including the champs and all three were NFC East matchups. There was a Packers-Bears game to begin 2019, but that was a special one to commemorate the NFL’s 100th season. This time it’s not even possible, because the Rams and 49ers will be in Australia ready to open their seasons on Sept. 10.
The Seahawks have a pretty good home schedule this season. There’s one opponent that stands out as a dud, and that’s a Cardinals team that was 3-14 last season and didn’t do much in the offseason to fix its quarterback situation. There’s no way, with all the other fun options that the NFL has available for a marquee game to start the season, that the Cardinals are the pick.
