Seattle Seahawks Host New England Patriots in NFL Season Opener
The 2026 NFL season officially begins with a highly anticipated matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. As the reigning champions, the Seahawks will raise their championship banner at SoFi Stadium before the opening kickoff.
This game serves as a direct rematch of Super Bowl 60, where Seattle previously dominated their opponents. The New England Patriots enter the contest looking to redeem themselves after a difficult defensive performance in that championship loss.
Quarterback Drake Maye leads the Patriots' offense, supported by new wide receiver acquisitions A. J.
Brown and Romeo Doubs. Both teams are aiming to set a strong tone for the campaign as they pursue a return to the Super Bowl.
The league has scheduled this marquee event to celebrate the return of football to fans across the country.
