The Seattle Seahawks have been sold to a group led by billionaire Vinod Khosla for a record $9.612 billion, a deal unanimously approved by NFL owners on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The sale, which sets a new benchmark for an NFL franchise, was finalized at a special owners meeting in Atlanta and marks the end of the Allen family's ownership of the Super Bowl champions. The transaction was approved by all 32 NFL owners, surpassing the required threshold of 24 votes. The sale price is the highest ever paid for an NFL team, eclipsing the $6.05 billion paid for the Washington Commanders in 2023.
