The 2026 Manly Warringah Sea Eagles season will be the 77th in the club's history since their entry to the New South Wales Rugby League premiership in 1947. The club will celebrate its 80th season recognising the three seasons the club played with the North Sydney Bears as the Northern Eagles. Anthony Seibold will coach the club for the fourth consecutive year. The captain has not been announced yet, but will take over from Daly Cherry-Evans after he departed the club for the Sydney Roosters. Former Manly forward Jason King will take over the role of CEO after Tony Mestrov departed the club. [1] Mestrov left after a difficult 2025 season which included negotiations with high-profile players that either failed or faced significant issues which included the now former captain and halfback Cherry-Evans and fullback Tom Trbojevic.
