How to Watch the Seattle Seahawks
Can the Seahawks go back-to-back?
The Seattle Seahawks blitzed the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX for their first title since 2014. It’s hard to repeat in the NFL, but watching the Seahawks try will certainly be unmissable theater this season.
The Seahawks earned a franchise-record six primetime games this season across the league’s national broadcast partners. As for the rest of the schedule, the bulk of their Sunday afternoon matchups will broadcast on regional FOX and CBS affiliates across the Pacific Northwest.
I made this guide for Seahawks fans who don’t want to miss a single down of their title defense. Keep reading for information on channels, TV and streaming plan recommendations, and how to watch the team for free this season.

The Seahawks will primarily appear regionally on local FOX and CBS affiliates. You can check 506sports.com each week to see if the matchup is broadcasting in your area.

Best TV plans for watching the Seattle Seahawks
Watching the Seahawks year in and year out means contending with all the different TV partners the NFL has. Almost every game day is on a different channel, and at times it can be hard to keep up.
After some research, though, I think you’ll have the fewest headaches with YouTube TV and Amazon Prime Video. Here’s a breakdown of why these services are the best fit for Seahawks fans.
Best Overall
YouTube TV provides every local and national channel you’ll need to watch most regular-season Seahawks games. Among its features are unlimited DVR storage and a user-friendly interface.
Exclusive Games
At least one Seahawks game will stream on Prime Video this season—Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. Subscribing to the service would also get you other Thursday Night Football games during the season.
Out-of-Market Coverage
For fans who live outside of the areas where Seahawks broadcasts air, NFL Sunday Ticket is your best bet. You can subscribe to the service through YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels.
