In the 2026 NFL preseason, which team tied the Kansas City Chiefs 9–9 in Week 3?

The Seattle Seahawks tied the Kansas City Chiefs 9–9 in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL preseason.

The game was played on August 28, 2026, during the final full week of exhibition games. Neither team produced enough offense to separate, making it one of the preseason's rare ties.

Preseason games are used primarily to evaluate roster depth, young players and tactical combinations rather than to establish regular-season standings. Coaches often limit the playing time of established starters, especially late in the exhibition schedule.

The result was also notable because Seattle entered 2026 as the defending Super Bowl champion. The Chiefs, meanwhile, remained one of the NFL's most recognizable franchises. A tie is possible in the NFL when a game remains level after overtime, although teams generally try to avoid that outcome in preseason contests. The 9–9 score was not a regular-season result and did not count toward either club's official 2026 record.
