Mark Your Calendars: The Seahawks' Championship Season Starts Sept. 9 and You Need to Be There
It is officially happening. The NFL just dropped the schedule details and your defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are kicking off the regular season at home on Wednesday, Sept. 9. This is the league's season opener, which means all eyes are on the Emerald City to watch the banner raise and the champs get to work.
Kickoff is set for 5:20 p.m., and NBC has the broadcast. Think about that for a second: the entire football world is tuning in to Lumen Field to watch Seattle open defense of its title. The energy is going to be absolutely electric.
The Banner Moment Everyone Will Remember
Before a single snap gets played, the Seahawks are expected to raise the Super Bowl banner. And yeah, that banner is commemorating one of the sweetest wins in franchise history: that dominant 29-13 victory over New England last month. That 29-13 scoreline has got to still taste good for the entire fanbase. It is the second Super Bowl title in the Seahawks' 50-year history, so this moment matters. Big time.
The Setup for a Historic Season
Having the season opener at home is a gift. The 12s will be packed in tight, the noise will be crushing for opposing offenses, and Sam Darnold and the offense get to start their championship defense in front of a roaring crowd. Mike Macdonald's squad has been the standard setter all season, and now they get to set the tone for the entire league right out of the gate.
The opponent has not been announced yet, but does it really matter? This is about the Seahawks proving they are not a one-hit wonder. This is about showing the NFL that Seattle is the team to beat, night in and night out.
Get ready. Sept. 9. Lumen Field. This is going to be special.
