The Seahawks are almost back on the field, and the calendar is already taking shape for a busy summer in Seattle. Rookies are due in first on July 17, with veterans following on July 24 to officially kick off the ramp-up toward the 2026 season.
There’s one joint practice on the schedule during camp, and it comes in Nashville. Seattle will head there a few days before its second preseason game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
The preseason slate opens at home with a visit from the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, August 15 at 2:00 PM PT at Lumen Field. From there, the Seahawks move on to Tennessee for Week 2 against the Titans on Sunday, August 23 at 2:00 PM PT. The final tune-up comes on Friday, August 28 at 2:00 PM PT, when Seattle plays the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
That gives the Seahawks three different looks in August. They’ll start by hosting Dallas while the Cowboys are still on their annual California trip, then get the Titans up close in Nashville before wrapping things up against Kansas City.
The finale against the Chiefs could be the most revealing of the bunch, since it offers Seattle a chance to see Kansas City’s starting unit. Whether Patrick Mahomes takes part is still unclear, given that he is coming off of a torn ACL that he suffered back in December.
There’s also a regular-season angle to the preseason matchups. The Seahawks will face both the Cowboys and the Chiefs during the year, so these August games will serve as an early preview of opponents they’ll see again later.
Fans will also get a behind-the-scenes look at camp through HBO’s Hard Knocks. The series begins on Tuesday, August 11 at 9 p.m. PT and will run for five weeks.

Jadarian Price Could Force Seahawks Into Another Huge RB Decision
John Schneider has never been shy about waiting on running backs, but the Seahawks current setup makes the position worth watching a little more closely. Seattle has bodies in the room, yet it does not have the kind of burst Kenneth Walker III brought before leaving in free agency, and that gap is exactly why the teams 2025 investment at the position matters so much.
Jadarian Price now sits at the center of that conversation, because Seattles long-term answer could hinge on whether he develops into the kind of difference-maker the roster still lacks. If he does not, the Seahawks may be staring at another round of hard choices, from rethinking how they build the backfield to potentially dipping back into the draft for a premium runner far sooner than expected.

Seahawks Turf Debate Puts Immediate Pressure On Lumen Fields Next Era
The NFL Players Association has made its latest push for grass fields a public one, but the more practical path may be much narrower than a league-wide campaign. If the union wants a real foothold in the turf-versus-grass fight, Seattle is an obvious place to start, especially with Lumen Field still among the stadiums playing on artificial surface and a new ownership era potentially on the horizon.
Vinod Khoslas purchase of the Seahawks is still awaiting approval, with Neeru Khosla positioned as controlling owner if it goes through, and that kind of transition often brings a fresh look at long-running issues. For the NFLPA, the argument is simple: stop trying to move the entire league at once and press individual teams to make the switch one by one, beginning with the Seahawks and the field under their feet.

Zach Charbonnet May Be Running Out Of Time In Seattle
Zach Charbonnets path back to Seattle has already been slowed by the ACL injury he suffered in last seasons divisional playoff game against the 49ers, and the timing makes his situation even trickier. After a productive season that may have been the high-water mark of his Seahawks tenure, the running back now has to work his way back into a backfield that is already shifting around him.
What happens next matters because Charbonnet is no longer just trying to get healthy, he is trying to reestablish his place in a league that moves fast on running backs. Seattle still has to see whether he can return and look like the player it had before the injury, and that answer will help shape whether his future belongs here or somewhere else. [Read more 🡒]
