The Seattle Seahawks, fresh off their triumph in Super Bowl LX, have said they are awaiting an official invitation from the White House before deciding whether to make the traditional visit to Washington, D.C.

Head coach Mike Macdonald addressed speculation at the NFL scouting combine, clarifying that no formal invitation has been issued yet but expressing confidence that one will be forthcoming from President Donald Trump and his team.

The Seahawks are the reigning champions after defeating the New England Patriots in the league’s title game on February 8. 

Responding to recent online rumours that the Seahawks had already declined a White House invitation, Macdonald emphasised that such reports were unfounded because the team had not received any official offer.

He said the organisation will consider the invitation collectively if and when it arrives, describing the decision process as internal and team-driven.

The tradition of inviting championship teams to the White House spans decades, but in recent years those visits have sometimes attracted controversy or scheduling delays.

The Seahawks themselves previously visited during a Super Bowl celebration in 2014. 

While speculation about acceptance or refusal made the rounds on social media in the wake of Seattle’s latest title, fact checks indicate no evidence that an invitation has been sent or formally rejected.

Both team officials and White House sources have remained tight-lipped on the timing and logistics of any potential ceremony.

As the franchise awaits word from Washington, the broader question of whether the Supreme League champions will participate in the White House tradition remains open, with the Seahawks signalling they will deliberate only after a formal invitation arrives.
