Organized with support from team partners and local authorities, the celebration will combine a stadium ceremony with a public parade, creating a full morning of festivities for fans across the Pacific Northwest. For Seattle supporters, the day represents more than a championship salute, it marks a shared civic moment tied to one of the franchise’s most memorable seasons.
Trophy celebration and parade schedule
Festivities will begin at Lumen Field, where gates for the ticketed Trophy Celebration open at 8:30 AM. The ceremony itself is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM, offering fans inside the stadium a first official chance to honor the Super Bowl champions and see the Lombardi Trophy up close.
Although the stadium event is free and open to the public, tickets are required for entry. Following the ceremony, attention will shift quickly to downtown streets as the public portion of the celebration gets underway. The victory parade is set to begin at 11:00 AM.
Public transportation adjustments, temporary street closures and heightened security measures are all part of the logistical planning, reflecting both the scale of the celebration and the city’s experience hosting major sports events.
Parade route through downtown Seattle and expected duration
The procession will start at 4th Avenue and Washington Street, traveling northbound along 4th Avenue before concluding at 4th Avenue and Cedar Street. Covering just over two miles through downtown Seattle, the parade is expected to last approximately two hours.

No additional festivities are planned at Seattle Center after the parade concludes, placing the focus squarely on the downtown route and the morning’s coordinated celebrations.
Fans attending along the route will also have access to exclusive Seahawks World Champions rally cards, available at select Starbucks locations downtown and distributed at stadium gates to those with Trophy Celebration tickets.
Transportation, road closures and guidance for fans
Significant traffic delays are expected throughout downtown Seattle from the early morning into the early afternoon on parade day. Streets along and surrounding the route will face closures as the city accommodates large crowds and event logistics.
Public transit remains the recommended way to attend. Link light rail will operate normally, while Sound Transit and King County Metro bus routes will run on temporary alternative paths to navigate closures. Officials continue to encourage fans to plan ahead, arrive early and rely on public transportation to ensure a smooth and safe championship celebration across the city.

The championship run has reignited the bond between the Seahawks and their fan base, often known as the “12s”, whose presence and noise have long defined the team’s home-field identity.

Moments like a victory parade extend the meaning of a championship beyond the field, turning a sporting triumph into a shared civic memory that can shape the city’s cultural landscape for years.
