The Seattle Seahawks have a good chance to run the table against their AFC opponents next season.
The Seahawks have five non-conference games in 2026. Seattle will host the New England Patriots in a rematch from last season’s Super Bowl in Week 1, followed by another home game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, before hitting the road to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 6. Seattle will return home to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 and will play the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 10.
Seattle figures to earn an easy win over the Raiders just before their Week 11 bye the following week. Las Vegas went 3-14 in 2025 and is still rebuilding. The Chargers made the playoffs last season, and addressed their offensive line by drafting four linemen in 2026, making them a threat that Seattle will have to come ready to play against.
The Seahawks will face a Patriots team with a comparable level of strength compared to last season. New England replaced key starters on both offense and defense with a mix of accomplished veterans and players that have seen a steady rise in play over the last couple of seasons, making that one of Seattle’s toughest matchups for next season, especially as a Week 1 opponent.
The Seahawks’ greatest tests will come against the Broncos and the Chiefs. Denver will get quarterback Bo Nix back from an ankle injury that he suffered at the end of last season, and still has most of its excellent defense from last season intact. Kansas City figures to return to form next season after a down year in 2025. The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl in two of the last four seasons and are expected to be among the biggest threats in the league with their high-octane offense next season.
All in all, the Seahawks project to go 3-2 against AFC opponents next season. The Seahawks will pick up wins against the Patriots, Chargers and Raiders, and lose to the Broncos and the Chiefs.
