Where to Watch the Seahawks in Woodinville: 2026 Season Guide

The 12-foot projector screen and wall of TVs during a watch party at Rooneys in Woodinville

The best place to watch the Seahawks in Woodinville is Rooneys Sports Bar, at 17626 140th Ave NE in the Woodinville Towne Center. Every game goes up on a 12-foot projector screen and 20 big-screen TVs running both DirecTV and Comcast, there is no cover, and the kitchen runs until well after the final whistle.

And this is the season to be watching. Seattle beat New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on February 8, and the 2026 campaign starts with the defending champions raising a banner at Lumen Field.

The opener is a Super Bowl rematch

The Seahawks open the 2026 NFL season on Wednesday, September 9 at 5:20 p.m. against the New England Patriots on NBC. Not Thursday. Wednesday. The league moved the opener up a day to accommodate the 49ers and Rams playing in Melbourne that Thursday, and the last time the NFL kicked off on a Wednesday was 2012.

It is also, of course, the Super Bowl rematch. Same two teams, seven months later, at Lumen Field.

Doors are open here from 11 a.m. that day, which means you can come in early, get a table before the room fills, and have the projector in front of you by kickoff. For a season opener with this much attached to it, arriving at 5:15 is optimistic.

Six primetime games, a franchise record

Seattle drew six primetime games in 2026, more than in any season in franchise history, and five of them are at Lumen Field:

  • Week 1, Wednesday September 9 vs. New England, 5:20 p.m. on NBC
  • Week 6, Thursday October 15 at Denver, 5:15 p.m. on Amazon
  • Week 7, Sunday October 25 vs. Kansas City, 5:20 p.m. on NBC
  • Week 8, Monday November 2 vs. Chicago, 5:15 p.m. on ESPN
  • Week 13, Monday December 7 vs. Dallas, 5:15 p.m. on ESPN
  • Week 16, Friday December 25 vs. Los Angeles Rams, 5:15 p.m. on FOX

Primetime kickoffs are the ones worth planning around here. A 5:15 start means you can get in after work, order off the full menu, and still be here when the late-night menu comes out at 10.

Week 7 has a subplot: Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl LX MVP, comes back to Lumen Field in a Kansas City uniform after leaving in free agency. That is a Sunday night game against the Chiefs with a genuine edge to it.

The first Christmas game in Seahawks history

Week 16 is Friday, December 25 against the Rams at 5:15 p.m. It is the first Christmas game the Seahawks have ever played, and because Christmas falls on a Friday in 2026, it lands on what is already one of the busiest nights of our week.

We are open 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day, holidays included. If you are looking for somewhere to land after the family stuff winds down, or you want a table for a group, call ahead on that one. It will be busy.

Early kickoffs, and what “we open early” actually means

Most Sundays during football season, the first wave of NFL games kicks at 10 a.m. Pacific. That is the 1 p.m. Eastern window, and it happens nearly every week of the season regardless of who the Seahawks are playing. We open early for that slate so the early games have a home, with coffee and bloody marys going before the first snap.

The Seahawks themselves land in that window twice this season: Week 3 on September 27 at Washington, and Week 17 on January 3 at Carolina. Both are 10 a.m. Pacific starts.

Start times shift week to week, so call (425) 481-3586 to confirm the day you are coming in.

Preseason starts August 15

Football is closer than the calendar suggests. Seattle’s preseason opens at home:

  • Saturday, August 15 vs. Dallas Cowboys, 5 p.m., KING 5
  • Sunday, August 23 at Tennessee Titans, 5 p.m., FOX
  • Friday, August 28 at Kansas City Chiefs, 5 p.m., KING 5

All three are on here. Preseason is a good time to figure out which seat you want before the room gets serious in September.

The game-day deal

During every Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken game we run $11 for a hot dog, fries and a beer. It is the easy call when you are settling in for four quarters and you would rather watch than study a menu.

If you want more than that, the kitchen is doing house-ground burgers, hand-cut wings in five sauces, Mondo Nachos, bacon cheese tots and a rotating spread of scratch pub food. The full menu is here. The late-night menu runs 10 p.m. to midnight every night, which covers you after a primetime game runs long.

Halftime is not standing around

Rooneys has two of the only real pool tables left in Woodinville, plus two league-ready electronic dartboards, Golden Tee, Godzilla pinball, shuffleboard, a Touch Tunes jukebox and 30 pull-tab bowls. Behind the bar there are 12 taps and a whiskey, bourbon and scotch list deeper than a sports bar has any business carrying.

Pool is free all day on Thursdays, which pairs nicely with the Thursday night primetime games.

Bringing a group

For a big Sunday, a division game or the Christmas night matchup, reserve a section and we will put your game on the screens you are sitting under. Tell us the date and headcount on our Private Events page or call (425) 481-3586, and give us a few days’ notice on the marquee dates.
