The reigning Super Bowl champions are getting a new owner — with a division rival twist.
A group led by Vinod Khosla has agreed to buy the Seahawks, the team confirmed Saturday.
ESPN reported that the sale is for an NFL record $9.6 billion.
Khosla, a venture capitalist and Silicon Valley businessman, became a non-controlling, limited partner in the 49ers in May 2025.
“We are honored to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks,” Khosla said in a statement. “We look forward to building on the winning legacy Paul Allen created and to earning the trust of the Seahawks organization and fans everywhere.”
In the wake of a Super Bowl 2026 championship, the Estate of Paul G. Allen announced it had “commenced a formal sale process.”
The sale is still subject to NFL approval.
