Seahawks’ Key Showdowns Against Patriots and Rams Highlight 2026 Schedule

The Seattle Seahawks have an exciting lineup for the upcoming season, featuring several standout games. However, two matchups stand out as particularly essential to watch, according to Jason Abbey from DAZN.

The Seahawks will kick off their season with a highly anticipated rematch against the New England Patriots. Last year's Super Bowl saw Seattle triumph over New England, securing the Vince Lombardi Trophy. This time, the Seahawks will host the Patriots in a primetime event to mark the beginning of the season.

As the season wraps up, Seattle will face a formidable challenge in their Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have strengthened their roster significantly, acquiring Myles Garrett, the reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year, alongside former All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. This bolstered defense aims to bridge the gap with Seattle's after last season.

In their previous encounters, the Seahawks and Rams split their series, but Seattle emerged victorious in the NFC Championship game. With both teams looking to assert their dominance in the NFC West, the 2026 finale promises to be an intense showdown.
