The final game of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2026 preseason is just hours away, and once the game ends it’ll be all about forming the 53-man roster and 16-man practice squad for the regular season.
Seattle wraps up its August on the road versus the Kansas City Chiefs, whom they’ll be seeing in the regular season at Lumen Field at the end of October. There will be no starters playing for the Seahawks and highly likely the same will apply to the Chiefs, so it’s one last chance for players who are just trying
to make the team.
NFL preseason television rights are different than regular season, so we’re here to simplify tonight’s situation. KING-5 NBC, Seattle’s flagship station for Seahawks preseason games and other local Seahawks television programming, is carrying Seahawks-Chiefs locally. KING-5’s broadcasts are also shown on other television affiliates in the Seahawks’ secondary markets, which include Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, and Hawaii. Then there are mobile and online streaming options whether you’re in Seattle, somewhere else in the USA, or overseas!
Here’s a quick How to Watch guide.
When is Seahawks vs. Chiefs kickoff time?
On Friday, Aug. 28 at 5 pm PT, with pre-game coverage on KING-5 starting at 4:30 pm PT.

If you have access to any of these channels, you can watch the Seahawks!
Watch live stream on Seahawks.com
For fans in the local market, the game can be streamed on the Seahawks Mobile App and on Seahawks.com. If you’re a fan of enhanced audio, the Super Bowl champs have you covered!
As part of the integration, Dolby OptiView now includes Dolby Vision for the first time, giving fans a more vivid, lifelike way to follow the team’s live streaming coverage on the official Seahawks Mobile App and on Seahawks.com. From team press conferences to preseason games for fans in Seattle and their International markets, every moment will be brought to life with brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and richer color in Dolby Vision, making the Seahawks’ iconic uniforms more vibrant while bringing fans closer to the sea of 12s and the gameday atmosphere at Lumen Field.
You can also watch on Seahawks.com even if you live in Seattle but don’t have KING-5!
Watch on ESPN Unlimited or NFL+
If you are out-of-market, there are other options! ESPN Unlimited is carrying Seahawks-Chiefs, although it’s probably a bit much if you’re a non-subscriber and don’t want to pay $32/month. It’s also blacked out in local markets. You can also subscribe to NFL+ for access to out-of-market preseason games, Seahawks included. Geographic restrictions may apply for international fans.
The game can also be streamed on DAZN Game Pass International.
What if I live in the Kansas City area?
The Chiefs local station is KSHB-41 NBC. Info on their local affiliates can be found here.
That should cover everything! You can always check out the radio affiliates here if you want to listen to Steve Raible and Dave Wyman over either the Seahawks or Chiefs broadcast feed.
