Seahawks Game Today brings a quarterback change for Seattle, with Drew Lock set to start against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Seahawks are 1-0 after beating New England 13-10 in Week 1, but Sam Darnold left that game early with a glute injury.
Lock steps into the role after finishing Week 1 16-of-22 for 187 yards and a touchdown. It gives Seattle a different look in a divisional road game, but the broader picture is straightforward: the Seahawks have already banked an opening win, and now they have to protect that start with a backup quarterback under center.
What Seattle showed in Week 1
There was plenty to like about the result against New England, even if the margin was narrow. Seattle won 13-10, opened the season 1-0, and got enough from Lock after Darnold exited early to keep control of the game.
That matters because this is not a team heading into Week 2 searching for a response. It is a team trying to build on a win while adjusting to an unexpected change at quarterback.
Arizona are 1-0 too
The Cardinals arrive with confidence of their own after beating the Chargers 26-14 in Week 1. Jacoby Brissett threw for 277 yards and a touchdown in that win, and Arizona opened the season 1-0 as well.
So while the headline is the quarterback switch in Seattle, the matchup itself is a strong one. Both teams are unbeaten, both have already shown they can win in Week 1, and both now move into a divisional game where early-season momentum is at stake.
When and where is Seahawks-Cardinals?
The game is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, at 4:25 p.m. ET. It will be played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
For Seattle, the question is simple: can Drew Lock keep the offense steady enough to defend a 1-0 start? For Arizona, it is an early chance to test a rival team already dealing with a quarterback setback.
