Vote on Seahawks ownership change will happen in August
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks are set to have a new owner before the 2026 regular season starts, pending a vote by NFL owners in August 2026.
- A group led by multibillionaire Vinod Khosla has submitted a $9.612 billion bid to purchase the team.
- Khosla's prior approval to buy a minority stake in the San Francisco 49ers simplifies the vetting process for his Seahawks bid.
- The main issue for approval will be the structuring of the deal, but there is little reason to expect the transaction to be rejected.
- Such ownership transactions typically proceed smoothly without falling apart.
