The 2026 NFL season is basically here, folks! Less than a week, can you believe it? And guess what, 12s? Our Seattle Seahawks are kicking things off, leading the whole darn league into battle. You heard that right, the NFL Kickoff Game on Wednesday, September 9, features YOUR Seahawks going head-to-head with A.J. Brown’s New England Patriots. We’re talking prime time, opening night, setting the tone for what’s bound to be another wild season of gridiron action. This upcoming weekend is our last without NFL football until February, so soak it up, because the real show starts Wednesday!
Our Seahawks Lead The Charge, Others Follow
While the rest of the league is still gearing up, the Emerald City is about to explode with that kickoff energy. It’s our time to shine, right out of the gate, showing everyone what Seattle football is all about. It’s not just a game, it’s the official start of football being back in our lives, every single week, and our Hawks get to be the first ones on the field. That’s how you make a statement from day one, setting the pace for the entire season!
Around The League, Fan Buzz Builds For Eagles
Of course, other teams are itching to get going too, like the Philadelphia Eagles. They won’t hit the field until Sunday, September 13, at 4:25 PM Eastern, hosting the Washington Commanders. That gives their fans some serious time to kill, debating everything under the sun, from their training camp takeaways to recent roster cuts. Guys like wide receiver Darius Cooper, who they call “The GOAT,” plus Jalen Hurts and Sean Mannion, are probably the hot topics over there. Their fans are diving into all the offseason chatter, looking at the upcoming season, and probably arguing about the best places for food if you’re visiting Philly for a game. Plus, they’ve got their new SB Nation app and the return of The NFC East Mixtape podcast. Sounds like a lot of buzz for them, but we’ll be focused on what our Hawks are doing!
Football Is Back, Baby!
No matter who you root for, one thing is for sure: football is back! That first game with our Seahawks is just days away, and it’s what we’ve been waiting for all year. Get ready, Seattle, because the journey begins Wednesday. Let’s bring the noise, the energy, and kick off this season right!
