This matters more than you think. Home games at Lumen Field (affectionately called the “C Link” by locals) usually start at 1:25 PM Pacific. But road games? That’s where the chaos hides. If they’re playing in London, the kickoff might be at 6:30 AM your time. Six. Thirty. In. The. Morning. Are you ready for that? No judgment if you set an alarm and pour coffee straight into a bowl.
Also, primetime games are a whole different beast. Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football—those are almost always at 5:20 PM Pacific or later. And they stretch forever because commercials. Bring snacks. Bring a lot of snacks.
How to find the exact time (without losing your mind)
I use three sources. Yes, three. I’m not proud of it, but I’ve been burned before. First, check the NFL app. It’s literally the official one, and it updates instantly. Second, Google the team name plus the opponent. For example, “Seahawks vs 49ers time.” Google shows a little card at the top. It’s magic. Third, ask Siri. Or Alexa. Or that one friend who lives and breathes Seahawks stats.
