Despite an offseason to be forgotten around Major League Rugby, with the league shrinking from 11 teams to six, there is still a 10-game season ahead of the Seattle Seawolves and the five other remaining sides for 2026. Domestic talent has consolidated around MLR from the contractions as well as a new seven-player gameday limit for international players, though the decision - controversial, to put it mildly - to exclude Canadian players from domestic status has decreased that pool of players.

Seattle has a total of 30 confirmed signings for the 2026 season, 11 international and 19 domestic. 11 are returning players from last year’s Seawolves team while 19 are new additions, mostly from now-defunct MLR clubs.
