Seattle Seahawks Maintain 1:05 PM Kickoff Despite Mariners Playoff Scheduling

The Seattle Seahawks will maintain their scheduled kickoff time of 1:05 p.m. on Sunday for their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite the Seattle Mariners hosting Game 2 of the American League Division Series at nearby T-Mobile Park later that day. Major League Baseball announced the Mariners' game will start at 5:03 p.m., avoiding a scheduling conflict with the Seahawks' game at Lumen Field. Both stadiums are adjacent, raising concerns about infrastructure, traffic, and parking for the estimated 120,000 fans expected for the two events. The Seahawks and Mariners have generally avoided simultaneous home games due to logistical challenges, but this Sunday will be a rare exception. Fans are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and consider public transportation options. The Seahawks will also celebrate their 50th NFL season during the game, including wearing throwback uniforms and honoring their top 50 players of all time during halftime.
