The 2018 season is the Seattle Seahawks' 43rd in the National Football League and their ninth under head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks are trying to improve on their 9–7 record from the 2017 season. They will also play in London for the first time in franchise history, taking on the Oakland Raiders in Week 6. This is the first season since 2011 that the team will not feature the original Legion of Boom defensive unit.

This is the first season since 2011 not to have Richard Sherman on the roster as he was released on March 9, 2018 and signed with the division rival San Francisco 49ers.

Michael Bennett, another long time Seahawks player was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on March 7, 2018. His fellow defensive lineman Cliff Avril was also released by the team on May 4, 2018.

It is also the first season since 2009 that Kam Chancellor is not on the roster as he announced his retirement on July 1, 2018 due to the neck injury he sustained in week 10 of the 2017 season.

Tight ends Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson, Wide receiver Paul Richardson and Running back Thomas Rawls all departed in free agency as well.

On August 20, 2018 longtime Seahawks punter Jon Ryan was released from the team. He was the last remaining player still on the Seahawks who was a part of the franchise before coach Pete Carroll took over in 2010. With his release the Seahawks look to their fifth-round rookie Michael Dickson to take over punting duties.

This season is notable for featuring the NFL’s first player with only one hand, as the Seahawks drafted Shaquem Griffin in the fifth-round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of UCF. He is the twin brother of Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin.

Paul Allen, who had owned the team since 1996, died of cancer on October 15, 2018 at the age of 65.
