The Seattle Seahawks are officially back at team headquarters in Renton for training camp, kicking off their title defense as the reigning Super Bowl champions on Saturday, July 25, 2026! Man, the offseason felt endless, right? But finally, our team is together again, slapping backs, talking smack, and getting down to business. There’s a powerful “new energy in the building,” with players ready to put last year’s Super Bowl-winning season behind them and focus completely on defending that Lombardi.

Championship DNA, Fresh Voices, and a New Boss

What’s got me fired up is how much of our championship squad is still here. We’re opening up training camp as the defending Super Bowl champs, boasting the vast majority of its roster back for this title defense. Only five players left in free agency, leaving few question marks in starting lineups across offense, defense, and special teams as we roll into this new year. Plus, we’ve got a few new faces and an exciting, important new OC in Brian Fleury. Everyone’s curious about fresh ideas he could add to last season’s incredible offense. Oh, and a huge change behind the scenes: Neeru Khosla will be the next controlling owner of the Seahawks. Big moves on and off the field as we gear up for another run.

Camp Battles Heat Up While Rivals Watch

Even with a solid core, training camp is where spots are earned. There are some “looming positional battles” that need settling, and Stacy Rost highlighted three big questions the Seahawks are facing as camp gets underway. We’ll be watching closely to see who makes the 53-man roster and steps up! Early buzz suggests George Holani could be seeing a more permanent role with the team. This is also where we’ll see which undrafted rookies have legitimate paths to making the squad and who lands on the PUP list. Over 200 Seahawks fans already weighed in with their predictions for the 53-man roster, highlighting safe bets, fierce bubble battles, and surprising potential cuts. And it’s not internal competition; the entire league has their eyes on us. Rams star Myles Garrett has already declared his intentions, setting his sights squarely on “the champs.” He’s talking about chasing all-time greatness and his first Lombardi Trophy, which cranks up the NFC West rivalry even more.

Game 1 is still about 7-8 weeks away, but every day in Renton matters right now. We’ll be watching all the camp battles, the new energy, and how our defending champions prepare to face a league hungry to knock them off the top. This is it, the start of another incredible season. Let’s go, ‘Hawks!
