The Seattle Seahawks are currently valued at roughly 6.6–6.7 billion dollars , with many reports expecting a sale price in the 7–11 billion dollar range if and when the team is sold.

Quick Scoop

  • Forbes most recently pegged the Seattle Seahawks’ team value at about 6.7 billion dollars as of August 2025, placing them around 14th among NFL franchises.
  • Other recent coverage describes the Seahawks as being “valued at approximately 6.6 billion dollars” , while also noting that a controlling stake could sell for 7–8 billion dollars or more.
  • League and business insiders now expect that once a formal sale process starts, the high bid could land between 9 and 11 billion dollars , which would set a new record for an NFL franchise sale.

So, in simple terms: on paper today they’re worth about 6.6–6.7 billion , but in an actual bidding war the check someone writes may be close to, or even above, 10 billion dollars.

Why the number keeps climbing

  • NFL franchise values have surged over the last decade, and the Seahawks are seen as a strong brand with a big national following and a modern stadium.
  • Recent analyses point out that they’re competitive on the field and positioned as one of the league’s more attractive “next up” franchises for a mega–billionaire buyer.

Market value vs sale price

  • The “value” you see in lists (like Forbes) is an estimate built from revenue, profits, brand strength, and comparable sales.
  • The “worth” in a sale is whatever the highest qualified bidder will actually pay; in this case, projections in early 2026 are 9–11 billion dollars , well above the listed valuation.

Mini timeline context

  • Paul Allen’s trust originally bought the team for about 194 million dollars in 1997.
  • By 2025–2026, estimates in major business outlets had climbed into the mid–single-digit billions on paper and potentially double-digit billions in a live auction.
