After two weeks since the Seahawks secured a narrow victory over the 49ers, winning 13-3 in their regular season finale, the teams are set to clash once more. This time, it’s for a place in the NFC Championship during the 2026 NFL Playoffs.
The Seahawks head into tonight’s matchup, benefiting from 13 days of rest thanks to a bye. However, there’s some uncertainty regarding starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who’s listed as questionable due to an oblique injury, which means backup Drew Lock will likely take over.
Meanwhile, the 49ers will face a tough challenge without one of their key offensive players, George Kittle, who is sidelined with a season-ending Achilles injury suffered in their recent 23-19 win against the Eagles.

How to Watch for Free
If cable isn’t an option, you can still catch the game with a live TV streaming service. Personally, I really like DIRECTV for live football, as it offers a 5-day free trial that includes FOX, among other channels. Once that trial ends, you would have over 90 channels available for as low as $49.99 monthly.
Sling TV is another budget-friendly option, offering plans that start at $19.99 per month and include FOX.
