We\u2019re one week away from the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> releasing their 2025 regular season schedule. The NFL has done a superb job of making something as simple as a schedule release seem like a monumental event, which in turn also means a lot of you are boosting Field Gulls readership.<\/p>\n

While we don\u2019t claim any insider knowledge on the Seahawks\u2019 schedule, a little bit of process of elimination can give us a strong indicator of Seattle\u2019s Week 1 opponent.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks won\u2019t be the opening night game<\/p>\n

The Seahawks do not play the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> this season so we can rule out Seattle as the opening night kickoff opponent\u2014I\u2019m pretty sure the NFL has better options in mind to begin with for the reigning Super Bowl<\/a> champs.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks won\u2019t be going to Brazil<\/p>\n

Week 1 will see the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> host the NFL\u2019s second trip to Brazil. It\u2019ll be held on Friday, Sept. 5. Seattle doesn\u2019t face any AFC West opposition so scratch Friday off the list.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks have the opening NFL Sunday all to themselves in Seattle<\/p>\n

The Mariners are away on Sunday, Sept. 7 against the Atlanta Braves<\/a> but return home for a Monday night game against the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>, so we can rule out the Seahawks for Week 1 Monday Night Football. As for the soccer-playing Lumen Field occupants, it\u2019s an idle week for the Sounders and Seattle Reign FC are on the road against the Washington Spirit.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing on the Lumen Field calendar for Sept. 7<\/a>, so it doesn\u2019t take much from there to conclude that the Seahawks\u2019 Week 1 game will be at home for a fourth consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Seattle was a dismal 3-6 at home last season, a major reason why the Seahawks missed out on the playoffs. That stat looks worse when you realize the Seahawks started 2-0 at home and then dropped six of their last seven. Their home record has been middling dating as far back as 2019, with their best mark of 7-1 coming in an empty stadium during the 2020 pandemic season.<\/p>\n

Who are the Seahawks\u2019 home opponents?<\/p>\n

Remember that it\u2019s an odd-numbered year, so the Seahawks and the rest of the NFC have one fewer home game (8) than they do away.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams
\nArizona Cardinals
\nSan Francisco 49ers
\nNew Orleans Saints
\nTampa Bay Buccaneers
\nIndianapolis Colts
\nHouston Texans
\nMinnesota Vikings<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll find out which team is Seattle\u2019s first victory opponent on Wednesday, May 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re one week away from the Seattle Seahawks releasing their 2025 regular season schedule.
