The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are officially up for sale, the estate of late owner Paul G. Allen announced in a statement shared by the franchise on Wednesday (February 18).
"The Estate of Paul G. Allen today announced it has commenced a formal sale process for the Seattle Seahawks NFL franchise, consistent with Allen's directive to eventually sell his sports holdings and direct all Estate proceeds to philanthropy," the statement reads. "The Estate has selected investment bank Allen & Company and law firm Latham & Watkins to lead the sale process, which is estimated to continue through the 2026 off-season. NFL owners must then ratify a final purchase agreement."
ESPN's Adam Schefter claimed that the Seahawks could be valued at up to $10 million amid speculation of a potential sale on an episode of his podcast released two days after their Super Bowl LX victory. Seattle defeated the New England Patriots, 29-13, during Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8.
Seattle went 14-3, the best record in the NFC, during the 2025 season, its second under head coach Mike Macdonald. The Seahawks defeated the NFC West Division rival San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams during the playoffs en route to their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history, avenging their Super Bowl XLIX loss to the Patriots, which took place 11 years prior.
