Super Bowl rematch to open 2026 season as NFL fixtures released

The 2026 NFL season will kick off with a Super Bowl rematch on September 9 when champions Seattle Seahawks open up against the New England Patriots.
The Seahawks dominated the Patriots in a 29-13 victory in February that secured the franchise's second NFL title, with the 2026 season-opener - taking place on a Wednesday night in the USA - just the third time that the teams who contested the Super Bowl face off again in Week 1.
