How To Watch the Seattle Seahawks in 2026 Without Cable

Sixteen of the 17 Seattle Seahawks games this season have a network assigned, and 13 of those are on FOX, NBC, or CBS. Only three sit behind paid streaming — two Monday night games on ESPN and a Thursday night game on Prime Video. If you’re watching from outside Washington state, you’ll also need NFL Sunday Ticket. This guide covers both — and what each one costs.

The Seahawks open 2026 as defending champions. Seattle went a franchise-best 14–3, won the NFC West and the No. 1 seed, then beat San Francisco, the Rams and finally New England 29–13 to win Super Bowl LX — the second title in franchise history and the first since 2013. Mike Macdonald returns for a third season, and the season opens with a rematch against the Patriots.

What channels do you need to watch the Seattle Seahawks?

Every scheduled Seattle Seahawks regular season game in 2026 airs on FOX, NBC, CBS, ESPN, or Prime Video — nine games on FOX, two on NBC, and two on CBS. The three premium games are Week 8 against Chicago and Week 13 against Dallas on Monday night on ESPN, and Week 6 at Denver on Thursday night on Prime Video. Week 18 at the Rams has not been assigned a network yet.

Two games fall outside the usual Sunday window and both are free to air. Seattle opens the NFL season on Wednesday, September 9 against New England on NBC — a Super Bowl LX rematch — and hosts the Rams on Christmas Day on FOX.

Here’s the full schedule with the channel for each game.

What it costs to watch every Seattle Seahawks game

The Seahawks play three “premium” games this season — two on ESPN and one on Prime Video — and covering all three costs $111.92 for the season, or $40.97 if you subscribe and cancel around each game. Every other scheduled game is on FOX, NBC, or CBS.

Premium games are the ones whose broadcast rights have been bought by streaming platforms: Monday and Thursday night matchups, international games, and holiday matchups.

Where you’re watching	What you need	Cost for the 2026-2027 season
In the Seattle market, with cable or live TV already	ESPN Select for the two Monday night games, plus Prime Video for Week 6 — your existing service carries FOX, NBC, and CBS	$111.92 (or $40.97 subscribing and cancelling around each game)
In the Seattle market, starting from scratch	A live TV streaming service carrying local FOX, NBC, and CBS (Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or DIRECTV Stream), plus ESPN Select and Prime Video	$383–$472 for the season, depending on service
Outside the Seattle market	NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV, plus ESPN Select and Prime Video	$721.87 for new subscribers $904.87 for returning subscribers

Sunday afternoon games are assigned by region, so CBS and FOX show different matchups depending on where you live. If you’re outside Washington state, your local channels will usually be carrying another team, which is why out-of-market fans need Sunday Ticket to get every Seahawks game.

Watching out-of-market games

The NFL makes it challenging to watch your favorite team if you don't live close to its home market. If you're a Seattle Seahawks fan outside Washington, here are two ways to watch out-of-market games:

How to stream Seattle Seahawks games

Watching the Seattle Seahawks with YouTube TV

Watching the Seattle Seahawks with Hulu

Watching the Seattle Seahawks with Fubo

Watching the Seattle Seahawks with DIRECTV Stream

Bottom line

If you’re in the Seattle market, most of the season costs you nothing beyond the TV service you already have — 13 of the 16 scheduled games are on FOX, NBC, or CBS, including the Wednesday opener and the Christmas game. The three exceptions are Weeks 8 and 13 on ESPN and Week 6 on Prime Video.

Outside Washington, your local FOX and CBS affiliates will be carrying other teams most Sundays, so NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV is the only way to get every game.

Week 18 at the Rams still doesn’t have a network assigned, and the NFL can move games into prime time late in the season, so it’s worth checking back.
