Despite a disappointing loss to a last-place team in Week 3, the Seattle Seahawks are moving on up in the world.
The National Football League made a scheduling change to move the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears from the featured 1:25 pm PT slot to 10 am PT on FOX.
This means that the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers will be the lead late doubleheader game on FOX, as opposed to playing second fiddle to Bears-Packers and getting significantly less
national distribution. This comes in part because Caleb Williams is expected to miss multiple weeks, and the Packers have dropped 2 out of their first 3 games.
With this change, the Seahawks will draw the commentating team of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady.
It’ll be an NFC West affair, with the Niners leading the division with a 3-0 record, and the Hawks trailing at 2-1. FanDuel Sportsbook has the two teams both inside the top 10, in terms of best Super Bowl odds, with SF tied for 3rd-best (with the Baltimore Ravens) at +950, and Seattle sitting at 5th with a +1000.
This high-profile clash is colored with the recent Super Bowl win by the Seattle Seahawks in the 49ers’ own stadium back in February. The two teams will meet in Seattle for their first game of the series in the 2026 season. Will it be a 3-part story, as it was last year?
The Seahawks will hope to gain a major foothold against their nemesis in front of a larger segment of the country and keep the good times rolling after crushing them in the playoffs last year, 41-6. It’s a new season and new stakes, so this game will be one to have your popcorn ready for.
