The 2026 NFL schedule dropped Thursday night, and if you've got a Seahawks fan in your life, you already know the rest of the year just got organized around 17 Sundays. They've memorized the dates. They've already started arguing about the primetime spots. They've probably texted you about it.
Here's what your Seahawks fan will be watching this season — and what that means if you're the one shopping for them.
The games on the fridge
A handful of games per season set the tone for a Seahawks fan's whole year. Here are the dates that'll matter most in 2026:
- Wednesday, September 9 — Patriots at Seahawks (NFL Kickoff Game). Super Bowl LX rematch to open the entire season. Lumen Field raises the banner. NBC, 8:20 PM ET.
- Sunday, September 27 — Seahawks at Commanders. Week 4 trip to D.C. The defending champs on the road.
Why this matters for the gift you're picking
Seahawks fans are loud. Like, decibel-record loud. The 12s are part of the team. Schedule release is church for them.
When you're shopping for the Seahawks fan in your life — your dad, your husband, your father-in-law, your kid, your grandparent — you're not buying them "a sports gift." You're buying them their team. The good news: that makes the gift easy.
Seahawks gifts that actually land
Featured plaque: Our Jaxon Smith-Njigba Plaque is the wall piece — real licensed cards mounted in our Westchester shop, ready to display the moment it lands. The exact card may vary slightly from the one pictured — you'll always get a genuine licensed card of this player.
The 2025 + 2024 combo: The 2025 + 2024 Donruss Factory Sealed Team Set 2-Pack is the foundational gift — both years of Donruss, both sealed in their original wrappers, this season's rookies stacked next to last season's established core. Open both, display both, or gift one and stash the other. Either way it's the freshest, most complete way to get the Seahawks on a Seahawks fan's shelf.
The deep cut (6 years of Seahawks cards): For the obsessive fan, our 6-year Donruss Seahawks Team Set Bundle spans 6 seasons in a single gift — every era of recent Seahawks football, all the rookies who became veterans, all the veterans who became legends. The kind of gift a real fan opens slowly.
The full collection: Browse every Seahawks product we carry on our Seattle Seahawks page — plaques in four sizes, team sets across multiple years, and player-specific gifts for every Seahawks legend and current star.
Schedule release night is the loudest night of the offseason for a reason. Your fan's whole fall just took shape. Help them celebrate it.
