The Seattle Seahawks remain up for sale. Now, a bidding war among several billionaires is looming.

Several billionaires are apparently planning to submit a bid for the Seattle Seahawks, which are up for sale. This is according to the U.S. business magazine “Sportico”.

According to the report, Indian steel billionaire Aditya Mittal and former Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck have teamed up to acquire the reigning Super Bowl champions. The report states that they have already submitted an official expression of interest and are currently preparing an offer.

Grousbeck was the majority owner of the Celtics from 2002 to 2025 and has remained a co-owner of the NBA franchise since its sale in 2025. Mittal, who comes from one of India’s wealthiest families, invested approximately one billion dollars in the Celtics at the time and is therefore also a co-owner.

Since Mittal lives in London, he would be the puppet master behind the scenes, while Grousbeck would steer the franchise’s fortunes on the ground in Seattle.

Seattle Seahawks: 49ers investor Khosla with an offer?

Billionaire Vinod Khosla is also reportedly preparing another bid. The 78-year-old already owns shares in the San Francisco 49ers and has also submitted an expression of interest in acquiring the franchise.

However, according to NFL regulations, the co-founder of the tech company “Sun Microsystems” would first have to sell his shares in the 49ers before the league would approve a takeover.

The Seahawks have been officially up for sale since February and are currently being managed in trust by the sister of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who died in 2018.

According to media reports, the sale of the Seahawks is expected to fetch a record price of between seven and ten billion dollars, significantly surpassing the 6.05 billion dollars for which the Washington Commanders were sold in 2023.

Nevertheless, interest in purchasing the team is currently “lower than expected,” according to “ESPN”.
