Chiefs vs. Seahawks: How to Watch, Follow the Live Score, and Check Game Updates
Updated October 26, 2026, during live play. The Kansas City Chiefs are visiting the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL regular season at Lumen Field. The game has started. At the latest official game-center check, Seattle led 3–0 in the second quarter, with 8:22 remaining and the Seahawks facing first-and-10 at their own 35-yard line. That is a live snapshot, not a final score; refresh the official game center for the current clock, score, and possession.
For U.S. viewers searching “Chiefs vs. Seahawks: how to watch and follow the game,” the confirmed national TV options are NBC and Peacock. Seattle’s game center and the NFL’s game page provide live scoring and play-by-play. The game’s scheduled kickoff was Sunday, October 25 in Seattle, but the corresponding UTC date is Monday, October 26.

Kickoff time, date, and venue
The Chiefs–Seahawks game is at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. Kickoff was scheduled for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 5:20 p.m. in Seattle, Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−07:00). That is 8:20 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−04:00) on Sunday, October 25, and 00:20 UTC on Monday, October 26.
Seattle: 5:20 p.m. PDT (UTC−07:00), Sunday, October 25
Central Time: 7:20 p.m. CDT (UTC−05:00), Sunday, October 25
Eastern Time: 8:20 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00), Sunday, October 25
UTC: 00:20 UTC, Monday, October 26
Venue: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington
The one-day difference in the UTC listing is a date conversion, not a second kickoff. U.S. daylight saving time remains in effect on October 25; NIST says the change back to standard time occurs on the first Sunday in November. For a calendar reminder, use the Seattle date and time or the UTC timestamp, and check that your calendar is set to the right time zone.

Where to watch in the United States
NBC is the television broadcaster, and the game is also available to stream on Peacock. If NBC is part of your local TV lineup, NBC Sports says viewers can use the NBC channel or access the stream through the NBC or NBC Sports apps and NBCSports.com with an eligible TV-provider login. If you do not have NBC through a TV provider, Peacock is the listed streaming option. The Chiefs’ local NBC station is KSHB in Kansas City.
One timing detail can cause confusion: Sunday Night Football coverage begins before kickoff. NBC Sports lists Football Night in America at 7:00 p.m. EDT, while the scheduled kickoff is 8:20 p.m. EDT (5:20 p.m. PDT in Seattle). A listing that says “coverage begins at 7” is giving the pregame start, not the kickoff. If you are joining late, go directly to the live game rather than assuming the scheduled start time is the opening kickoff.
NFL+ is another option identified by the Chiefs’ viewing guide for live local and primetime games on mobile devices, as well as game replays. Its availability and device limits differ from a regular TV broadcast, so check the service’s current terms before relying on it for a large-screen stream. If you are outside the United States, do not assume NBC or Peacock access follows you across borders; use the rights holder listed for your country.

Listen to the broadcast
Seattle-area listeners can use Seattle Sports 710 AM, KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM, or the Seahawks mobile app, according to the Seahawks’ official guide. Kansas City listeners can tune to 96.5 The Fan. The Chiefs’ guide lists Westwood One for national radio coverage. Local radio carriage and app access can depend on location, so confirm the station or stream is available where you are before kickoff or while the game is in progress.
Radio is a useful choice when a video stream is unavailable or when you want play-by-play without keeping a screen open. It is not a synchronized second screen by default: a radio or online audio stream may not line up exactly with a TV picture. Follow one broadcast source for the action and use the official game center for the current clock and drive status.

How to follow the live score and play-by-play
The NFL Game Center, the Seahawks Game Center, and the Chiefs Game Center are the best direct places to refresh the score, quarter and clock, possession, down and distance, play-by-play, and box score. At the live check for this article, the Seahawks and Chiefs centers showed Seattle ahead 3–0 in the second quarter. Because the game is still live, treat the number as provisional and use one of those pages for the latest state rather than repeating an older screenshot or post.
The team sites also carry official news, video highlights, and game-day updates. Use the live drive tracker when you need the next down or possession; use the box score to compare team and player totals; and wait for the game center to mark the game final before citing a final score. A social post or a score alert can be useful as a prompt to check, but the current official play-by-play is the better confirmation.
Confirmed availability and what it does—and does not—tell you
The Seahawks’ official Week 7 inactives report says safety Nick Emmanwori and linebackers Uchenna Nwosu and DeMarcus Lawrence were active after being listed as questionable. Linebacker Drake Thomas and outside linebacker Connor O’Toole were inactive. Quarterback Drew Lock was inactive but designated as Seattle’s emergency third quarterback; the report says Jalen Milroe would serve as the backup. For Kansas City, the Seahawks report lists right tackle Jaylon Moore and receiver Rashee Rice as unavailable, while cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and linebacker Cooper Macdonald were active.
“Active” confirms eligibility for the game, not a starting assignment, expected workload, or guarantee of a snap. An inactive designation means a player will not participate under the game-day roster decision, but it does not by itself explain a medical cause unless the team’s report says one. Use the official Seahawks inactives report for the confirmed list and the live game centers for participation and play-by-play. The published inactives report confirms availability; follow the live game center and play-by-play for actual participation and in-game roles.
