Seahawks Open 2021 Season At Indianapolis

While the full 2021 NFL schedule won’t be out until later in the day, the NFL did announce its Week 1 schedule on Wednesday morning, and the Seahawks will kick off their 2021 regular season with a trip to Indianapolis. The Seahawks’ opener against the Colts is on Sunday, September 12 and will kick off at 10 a.m. PT on FOX.The full schedule will be released at 5 p.m., and you can find all the info on Seahawks.com and Seahawks social media channels. There is also a schedule release show on the NFL Network starting at 5 p.m. For local fans, Q13 FOX will be live at 5 p.m. PT with a game-by-game breakdown of the schedule and analysis from sports director Aaron Levine and Seahawks Legend Michael Bumpus. The trip to Indy will be the first for Seattle since 2013, a game the Seahawks lost 34-28, one of only three losses in that Super Bowl-winning season. The two teams last faced off in 2017 with the Seahawks winning 46-18 behind three Russell Wilson touchdowns and two defensive scores. The Colts should be a tough opening test for Seattle, having gone 11-5 last year to make the playoffs for the second time in three seasons under head coach Frank Reich. The Colts will have a new quarterback this year, having traded for former Eagles starter Carson Wentz following the retirement of Philip Rivers. While in the past a 10 a.m. PT kickoff was seen as a significant disadvantage for the Seahawks, they’ve handled those games well in recent years despite the early wakeup call. The Seahawks went 3-1 in that time slot last year, including a season-opening win in Atlanta, and were 5-0 in early games in 2019. Dating back to 2013, the Seahawks are 19-7 in games that kick off at 10 a.m. PT.
