The Seahawks participated in the World Championship Parade through downtown Seattle on February 11, 2026.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the rock star, Devon Witherspoon was the man of the people, Ernest Jones IV was the hype man, AJ Barner's vibes were off the chart, Grey Zabel crushed Busch Lights, as he does, DeMarcus Lawrence and Brady Russell ditched their shirts, and Sam Darnold couldn't get enough of the fan reception, holding his hands to his ears to say "I can't hear you" get the already frenzied crowd even more fired up.

The Seahawks celebrated their Super Bowl championship with their fans on Wednesday, and the party lived up to the incredibly high standard set by the team that proved to be the best in the NFL during the 2025 season on its way to a Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots last weekend.

Nothing about the Seahawks' play this season was subtle, and neither was the championship celebration, which began Wednesday morning with a trophy presentation—and yes, plenty of on-stage drinks—at a sold-out Lumen Field, then continued with a parade among hundreds of thousands of fans along Fourth Avenue.

Before players left on double-decker busses, Witherspoon asked fans, "How y'all living, man? we got a parade today if y'all ain't know."

The 12s most definitely knew, and they turned out in big numbers to celebrate with the champions. As the parade rolled slowly along the parade route, players frequently got off the buses, making life challenging for team security, but setting off a frenzy among appreciative fans as players gave high fives and hugs and signed autographs.

Perhaps no one spent more time living it up with fans than Witherspoon, the heartbeat of Mike Macdonald's defense who can connect both with his teammates and fans alike with his unique spirit. While some players like Witherspoon, Riq Woolen, Julian Love and Ernest Jones IV and others mingled with fans on the street, others were content to take it in from atop double decker buses, including rookie guard Grey Zabel, who enjoyed a few Busch Lights thrown to him by fans, signing empty cans as well as Bud Light cups that he threw back into the crowd.

Love delighted fans by bringing the Lombardi Trophy off of the bus to give everyone an up-close look, and every player was received warmly as they passed through the huge crowd, but no player got quite as big of a reception as AP Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who rocked the shirtless Canadian tuxedo look as he mingled with the frenzied crowd.

Earlier in the day, after Smith-Njigba made some remarks to fans, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald grabbed the mic to say, "Put some respect on that man's name!" A reference to comedian Druski's very unfunny butchering of Smith-Njigba's name while presenting the Player of the Year award at NFL Honors last week. While an unfunny comedian might not have put respect on Smith-Njigba's name, Seahawks fans definitely did on Wednesday.

When Witherspoon, Smith-Njigba and Coby Bryant all embraced on the street between buses, Witherspoon used one of his close friend's favorite lines, saying, "We're the best in the (expletive) world!" Bryant then gave punter Michael Dickson a big hug, repeating the phrase, "We're the best in the world, baby!"

The Seahawks are indeed the best in the world, and on Wednesday, they had a memorable day celebrating it with their fans.
