Seahawks won’t play an international game this year

The Seattle Seahawks won’t be heading overseas this fall.

That was confirmed Tuesday morning, when the NFL announced the matchups for six of its seven international games as part of the league’s multi-day 2025 schedule release.

There was a possibility that the Seahawks could have been selected for one of two international games – either against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin on Sept. 28 or against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 19. That’s because Pittsburgh and Jacksonville had already been announced as the designated home teams for those games, and Seattle has road matchups against both teams this season.

But instead, the NFL announced Tuesday that the Minnesota Vikings will face the Steelers in Dublin and the Los Angeles Rams will face the Jaguars in London.

The Seahawks have twice been part of the NFL’s international slate – against the Las Vegas Raiders in London in 2018, and against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Munich in 2022. Seattle also played the Buffalo Bills in Toronto in 2012, but that wasn’t an official NFL international game.

The NFL will continue to announce select matchups for the 2025 season up until 5 p.m. Wednesday, when the league will reveal the complete schedule for the upcoming season.

Every team’s opponents are already set, as determined by the NFL’s scheduling format.

The Seahawks’ home opponents are: the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings.

The Seahawks’ road opponents are: the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Washington Commanders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
