Your Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks just kicked off a whole new era, and the timing couldn’t be more electric. Just six days before our 2026 season officially begins, the sale of our beloved franchise to the Khosla family has officially closed, making them the controlling owners. NFL owners gave their unanimous approval on August 26, sealing the deal and ushering in what feels like a fresh, powerful start for the Emerald City’s team. It’s a huge moment, changing the landscape right as we gear up for the regular season.
New Owners, Same Champions Vibe
Yeah, you read that right: Super Bowl champion Seahawks. This ownership change isn’t just a shake-up; it’s a monumental shift for a team that’s already sitting at the top of the league. The Khosla family took the reins, finalizing what was a record purchase for the franchise. You just know they’re stepping into a situation with massive expectations, inheriting a team that knows how to win. Our squad has already proven itself on the field, dominating when it counts, and now we’ve got a new set of eyes leading the charge off it. This whole deal is a statement, plain and simple, that this franchise is all about winning, from the top down to every single snap. It’s an exciting time to be a 12, that’s for sure!
Kickoff is Days Away, Rivals Are Already Hype-Crazy
So, with the preseason officially wrapped up, it’s all about New England coming to Lumen Field in six days for our opening game. While we’re gearing up, some folks out there are getting a little too loud about our division rivals, and honestly, it’s getting kinda old. ESPN’s Peter Schrager, that guy usually has his finger on the pulse, and even he’s saying the Los Angeles Rams’ hype is “out of control” right now. Think about it: they lost two of three games to a division rival last year, yet everyone’s suddenly jumping on their bandwagon? Come on. Schrager is spot-on when he says nobody should be overlooking our Seahawks, especially not after what we just did as Super Bowl champions. We’ve got Sam Darnold under center, making big throws, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba out there making plays that leave defenders in the dust. Remember that touchdown celebration with Darnold back on October 5, 2025, against the Buccaneers? That’s the kind of raw, winning energy we bring, and it’s something the whole NFC West needs to remember as this new season kicks off.
What’s Next: Defending Our Title
Six days, folks. That’s all we’ve got until our Super Bowl champion Seahawks kick off the 2026 season against the New England Patriots. With new ownership officially in place and the rest of the NFC West getting a little too loud, this is our chance to show everyone exactly what we’re made of from Week 1. We’re not just playing; we’re defending a title, establishing a new era under the Khosla family, and proving Peter Schrager right. Get ready, 12s, it’s time to bring that noise to Lumen Field and defend our throne!
