The 2026 NFL season opened with a rematch between last year's Super Bowl teams, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. Here are all the highlights from the first game of the new season.

The “Super Bowl LX Champions” banner was unveiled in the rafters of Lumen Field as the Seahawks took the field for Wednesday night’s NFL opener against the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl 60 rematch. Chancellor’s L.O.B. peer Richard Sherman raised the 12th Man flag moments later, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

"The best thing we can do is not mess with a lot," new Seahawks chair Vinod Khosla said ahead of Wednesday's season opener.

Sam Darnold suffered an apparent injury during the Seahawks' season opener against the Patriots, leaving his status uncertain as Drew Lock took over at quarterback.

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks had barely started their 2026 season opener before some viewers decided they had heard enough about the Super Bowl. The matchup was already impossible to separate from what happened seven months earlier.

The winner of last year's Super Bowl is off to a bad start in their title defense only minutes into the season.
