Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has been named the team's nominee for the 2026 NFL Salute to Service Award, the league announced on November 8. The award recognizes exceptional efforts by members of the NFL community to honor and support members of the military community.
Macdonald, who became the Seahawks' head coach in 2024, is one of 32 nominees — one from each NFL club — for the annual honor presented by USAA. The award acknowledges coaches, active and retired players, and team personnel who demonstrate an exemplary commitment to supporting service members, veterans, and their families.
The winner will be recognized at the NFL Honors ceremony ahead of Super Bowl LX in February 2027. Each nominee receives a $25,000 donation from the NFL Foundation to their chosen military-focused nonprofit, with the winner's charity receiving an additional $25,000.
