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.

Best TV plans for watching the Seattle Seahawks
Watching the Seahawks year in and year out means contending with the NFL’s various TV partners. Most game days are on a different channel, so it helps to know which services cover the biggest gaps.
After researching the team’s 2026 schedule, I think you’ll have the fewest headaches with subscriptions to 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.

Watch the Seattle Seahawks for free
For in-market fans, an over-the-air (OTA) antenna is the best way to watch Seahawks games without a monthly bill. An antenna will pick up most Sunday afternoon games and select primetime matchups as long as you’re within range of your local broadcast towers. Use Antennas Direct’s Transmitter Locator to check your local coverage before choosing a model from our Best OTA Antennas guide.
If you want to stream games for free, temporary trial windows from services like DIRECTV and YouTube TV can help fill short-term gaps. Just verify your local channel access before signing up, and remember to cancel before the trial ends to avoid getting billed.
