How to Watch 49ers vs Seahawks

The San Francisco 49ers hit the road to face the Seattle Seahawks in an intense NFC Divisional Round playoff showdown at Lumen Field on Saturday night.

San Francisco punched its ticket with a gutsy 23-19 Wild Card win over the Eagles, while Seattle earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round bye by finishing atop the NFC West and besting the 49ers in their most recent meeting. Despite being underdogs on the road, the 49ers’ recent resilience, including multiple wins over Seattle in recent seasons, sets the stage for a classic rivalry bout.

Injuries and key absences could play a big role in how this one unfolds. The 49ers will be without All-Pro tight end George Kittle, who suffered a torn Achilles, potentially limiting San Francisco’s options on offense. Without Kittle, expect Christian McCaffrey to once again take on a massive workload.

With Seattle’s defense hungry to make a statement and the 49ers’ offense led by Brock Purdy trying to overcome adversity, expect a tight, tactical game where turnovers, situational execution, and big plays could determine who advances to the NFC Championship.

This is a great NFL matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
