The New England Patriots have a Super Bowl rematch with the Seattle Seahawks set for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season.
The official 2026 NFL schedule was released on Thursday, and it has the Patriots going on the road to take on the Seahawks in their first matchup of the season.
The Seahawks defeated the Patriots by a score of 29-13 in Super Bowl LX. New England responded to their loss to Seattle by signing marquee free agents Romeo Doubs, Dre’Mont Jones, Kevin Byard and Alijah-Vera Tucker in free agency. They also drafted Caleb Lomu, Gabe Jacas and Eli Raridon in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Patriots will face a daunting challenge to begin next season against one of the best teams in the league. Seattle’s defense will see all three of its All-Pro honorees from the 2025 season return in 2026. The Seahawks’ high-octane offense is still largely intact, save Kenneth Walker III, who departed from Seattle in free agency.
