In a rare scheduling twist, the NFL season kicks off on a Wednesday night this year, making this opening night even more of a \u201cmust-see\u201d event for any true gridiron enthusiast.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks will host the NFL\u2018s season-opening game on Wednesday 9 Sept, instead of the usual Thursday night.<\/p>\n
This is because the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will play an international game in Australia<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t SUPER SAVER<\/p>\n Get \u00a3200 off tickets to Super Bowl 2027 with this huge NFL holiday deal<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n See the Seahawks in Seattle<\/p>\n The last time it happened came in 2012 when the NFL scheduled the Cowboys v Giants on a Wednesday to avoid clashing with Barack Obama\u2019s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n Touchdown Trips<\/a> are offering an exclusive 5-night package that puts you right at the heart of the 12th Man madness.\u00a0<\/p>\n Seattle <\/a>is world famous for having one of the loudest and most electric atmospheres in professional sports.<\/p>\n And there is no better time to experience it than when the championship banner is raised.\u00a0<\/p>\n From the moment you land in the Emerald City, every detail is handled, allowing you to focus entirely on the pre-game excitement and the hard-hitting action on the field.<\/p>\n The trip features a stay at the centrally located Crowne Plaza Seattle, just a stone\u2019s throw from the city\u2019s iconic landmarks and the stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n On game day, you won\u2019t just be watching from the stands; you\u2019ll be part of the official pre-game tailgate.<\/p>\n Enjoy all-inclusive food, drinks, and entertainment alongside the most passionate fans in the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kenneth Walker scores a touchdown against the Los Angeles RamsCredit: Getty<\/p>\n From lively bars to beautiful landscapes and iconic landmarks \u2013 Seattle is the USA\u2019s hippest city<\/p>\n With ATOL and ABTA protection, this is the ultimate stress-free way to cross a major bucket-list item off your sporting calendar.<\/p>\n Key Trip Information<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc8 \u2014 Event: NFL Season Opener 2026<\/p>\n \ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f \u2014 Dates: 7th September \u2013 12th September 2026<\/p>\n \u2708\ufe0f \u2014 Flights: Direct return flights from London Heathrow to Seattle with Virgin Atlantic<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfe8 \u2014 Accommodation: 5 nights at Crowne Plaza Seattle (Breakfast included)<\/p>\n \u2705 \u2014 Format: Official game ticket, tailgate access, and private airport transfers<\/p>\n \u2b50 \u2014 Top Stars: DK Metcalf<\/a>, Devon Witherspoon,<\/a> and the Super Bowl LX champions<\/p>\n See the Seahawks in Seattle<\/p>\n You can also find other travel bargains with our carefully chosen partners in other sports.<\/p>\n We have amazing trips to see the superstars of\u00a0Real Madrid in their spectacular new Bernabeu stadium.<\/p>\n And we have some great deals to see thrills and spills of the F1 season, including a week-long trip to the\u00a02026 Spanish Grand Prix for the bargain price of just \u00a3599 per person.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\tBe at Super Bowl LXI\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t GET \u00a3200 off tickets to Super Bowl 2027 in Los Angeles with this amazing NFL holiday deal<\/p>\n Flights to Los Angeles, 4 nights hotel accommodation, guaranteed match tickets.<\/p>\n Plus entry to an exclusive pre-game tailgate party with complimentary food and drinks to get you in the spirit.<\/p>\n Packages start from \u00a39,995 per person,<\/a><\/p>\n But you can get \u00a3200 OFF with the early bird discount if you book now.<\/p>\n And we have ticket and hotel deals for\u00a0Wimbledon\u00a0and\u00a0England cricket matches\u00a0in 2026.<\/p>\n The\u00a0horse racing\u00a0season in the UK is always buzzing, and we have deals to help you see it all.<\/p>\n Summer\u00a0starts with the perennial favourite the\u00a0Epsom Derby<\/a>.<\/p>\n Save yourself time &\u00a0money\u00a0by booking your accommodation, transfers & official tickets\/hospitality all in one place with overnight from\u00a0just \u00a3179pp.<\/a><\/p>\n Royal Ascot<\/a>\u00a0in June is unmissable, as our our unbelievable offers of\u00a0just \u00a3179 pp<\/a>, with four-star hotel accommodation and tickets to the races.<\/p>\n *\u00a0Prices correct at the time of publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE new NFL season is set to begin with a historic bang.
