The 2020 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 45th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 11th season under head coach Pete Carroll. With a win over the Washington Football Team in Week 15, the Seahawks made the playoffs for the third consecutive year. With a Week 17 win over the San Francisco 49ers, they improved upon their 11–5 record from the previous season. For the first time in franchise history, the Seahawks started 5–0. After a Week 16 win over the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks clinched the NFC West title for the first time since 2016.

However, in the Wild Card round, the Seahawks were defeated by the rival Rams 30–20. This was the Seahawks first home playoff loss in the Wilson/Carroll era and their first home playoff loss since 2004, which also came against the Rams. As of the 2024 season, this is the most recent season the Seahawks won the NFC West.

On November 19, 2020, CenturyLink Field was renamed Lumen Field.[1]

On February 6, 2021, Russell Wilson was named Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, the second Seahawk to earn the honor, after Steve Largent.

The Seahawks were the only team in the league to not have a player test positive for COVID-19 during the season. The team used approximately 36,000 tests for players and personnel, and detected close interactions using proximity sensors.[2] Due to the pandemic, home games were played without fans in attendance. Additionally, six of Seattle's eight road games were played without fans. Despite the absence of fans in attendance, the Seahawks went 7–1 at home during the regular season, their best home record since 2016.

In a competitive game on primetime, the Seahawks pulled ahead by the third quarter but the game was decided on the final play; the Patriots had driven to a 1st-and-goal on Seattle's 1-yard line, but in a reversal of fate from Super Bowl XLIX, the Seahawks defense was able to stuff a rushing play from Patriots quarterback Cam Newton for no gain on the next play. As the Patriots were out of timeouts, the Seahawks managed to hold on for a thrilling win, earning their second straight 2–0 start.[5] This game had to be monitored the entire week due to the bad air quality in the city thanks to fires across Washington and Oregon.

The 44–34 loss dropped Seattle to 6–2 on the season, and the 44 points surrendered were the most in the Pete Carroll era.
