NFL fans were left divided after it emerged that the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will begin the new NFL season with a Super Bowl rematch. The Seahawks triumphed when the two teams met at Levi's Stadium back in February, and seven months later, they are set to face off once more.
Game Details
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the game will take place at Seattle's Lumen Field, with the news emerging just hours before the full NFL schedule for the 2026 season is due to be released. It is a blockbuster clash between the two best teams from last season, but the matchup nevertheless divided fans on social media.

'[It] feels genuinely insulting that the NFL thought this was a good idea,' one fan said. 'This is EASILY the worst outcome,' another added.
