How early or late do you like your Seahawks football?
We’re t-minus six days until the release of the 2025 Seattle Seahawks regular season schedule. While we know which opponents the Seahawks will be facing, the dates and the order in which they’ll occur is TBD. You might not think it matters that much, but I sure wish the Seahawks could’ve played the New York Giants last season after they made major tweaks to their defense.
The typical NFL regular season timeslots are 10 am PT, 1 pm (1:05 or 1:25 depending on which network has the doubleheader), and 5:15-5:20 pm for primetime. Occasionally you’ll get a 6:30 am PT kickoff for an international game in Europe. Today’s discussion is all about your preferred time to watch the Seahawks play. This is by no means a cut-and-dry answer for many of you. Keeping in mind we have fans from all around the world, a 10 am kickoff may benefit our European-based 12s who can at least still watch the team in daylight hours. There are also work- or other life-related reasons for preferring one timeslot over another.
Once upon a time I loved the Seahawks in primetime. They’ve not been winning many of those lately and it also means I’m working pretty close to midnight handling news write-ups, Winners and Losers, etc. So while the benefit of a standalone Seahawks national TV game is that I get to watch NFL RedZone all day, it does come with drawbacks.
Unironically, I love 10 am kickoffs. The Seahawks not only have drastically improved their W-L record from the Pete Carroll era through year one of Mike Macdonald, but I just love waking up to football on a Sunday morning out on the west coast. I have enough time to write and edit at Field Gulls and watch Sunday Night Football uninterrupted. And if the Seahawks lose then I still have the rest of the day to do other things and not go to bed all pissed off.
That one game in Germany, though? Yeah, I need to be in a time zone east of the Pacific in order for that to be tolerable again.
