New information has reportedly emerged regarding the planned sale of the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks.

The players of the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, received their championship rings on Thursday evening.

By the start of the 2026 season, they could also have a new “boss.” As reported by “Pro Football Talk,” the sale of the Seahawks could potentially be finalized by the start of the new season.

This means a potential new owner could make their debut as early as the season opener on September 9 in the game against the New England Patriots. It remains unclear, however, who the new owner of the Seattle Seahawks might be.

NFL: Seattle Seahawks to go to the highest bidder

According to the terms of the estate of the late Paul Allen, the team will go to the highest bidder. The owners of the other teams, who must approve the sale, also have a strong interest in ensuring the Seahawks are sold for the highest possible price.

This is because every sale of a franchise sets the stage for the next one. In other words: The higher the value of one team, the higher the value of all teams.
