As the Seattle Seahawks gear up for the 2025 NFL season, fans have their eyes set on what promises to be a defining preseason. After narrowly missing the playoffs with a 10–7 finish in 2024, Seattle is entering a new era under head coach Mike Macdonald, and the preseason matchups will offer a first glimpse at the team’s revamped identity.
From fresh faces on the field to a new offensive system, this preseason isn’t just about tune-ups — it’s about transformation. Here’s everything you need to know about the Seahawks’ 2025 preseason schedule, and how you can catch every snap live.
Seattle Seahawks 2025 Preseason Schedule: Full list of games
Mark your calendars, 12s — the Seattle Seahawks have three high-stakes matchups lined up this August:
August 7: Seahawks vs. Raiders – 10:00 p.m. ET (NFL Network)
August 15: Seahawks vs. Chiefs – 10:00 p.m. ET (NFL Network)
August 23: Seahawks at Packers – 4:00 p.m. ET (NFL Network)
All three games will be nationally televised on NFL Network, giving fans across the country a chance to witness Seattle’s next chapter begin.
New era, new faces: Key storylines to watch
Mike Macdonald, taking the reins for his first season as head coach, is bringing a fresh mentality to the Pacific Northwest. After a rocky start in 2024, Macdonald helped the team close strong by winning six of their last eight games. Now, expectations are high — and preseason will be the proving ground.
One of the most anticipated storylines is the debut of quarterback Sam Darnold in a Seattle Seahawks jersey. With veteran receiver Cooper Kupp joining the roster and Klint Kubiak installed as the new offensive coordinator, fans will be watching closely to see how the offense meshes under the new scheme.
Why the preseason matters for Seattle
While wins and losses aren’t the focus during preseason, the games serve as a critical litmus test. With the NFC West still stacked with top-tier talent and coaching — including Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay — Seattle needs to hit the ground running in 2025. Preseason will be the first real opportunity to see if their offseason overhaul can deliver results.
From evaluating roster depth to testing Kubiak’s playbook in real-game scenarios, each snap in August could shape Seattle’s regular-season narrative.
