Seahawks game would start later if Mariners host 4th playoff game
The Seahawks would still play at 1:05 p.m. Sunday when the Mariners are swept out of the series in three games.
SEATTLE — The NFL on Wednesday announced its plans to resolve a possible schedule conflict with the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners this weekend.
The Mariners, who take on the Houston Astros in this week’s American League Division Series (ALDS), have a potential playoff game at T-Mobile Park at 12:07 p.m. Sunday. This led to a conflict with the Seahawks playing the Arizona Cardinals at 1:05 p.m. at Lumen Field. The two stadiums are about 0.2 miles apart.
If the best-of-five ALDS is extended to a fourth game, the Seahawks said in a tweet Wednesday morning His game would be moved from its 1:05 p.m. start to 2:30 p.m. to accommodate the Mariners’ home game.
The Seahawks would still be playing at 1:05 a.m. Sunday when the Mariners were swept out of the series in three games, according to the NFL.
The Mariners led 6-2 in the first game of the division round on Tuesday before the Astros’ Yordan Alvarez hit a three-run walk-off homer to give Houston an 8-7 win. The next game in the series is Thursday at 12:37 p.m. in Houston.
Seattle, guaranteed to host at least one home playoff game on Saturday, must win three of the next four games to advance to the American League Championship Series.
The Mariners are back in Major League Baseball’s postseason for the first time since 2021, weathering the longest active drought in American professional sports.
This weekend’s Seahawks game will be broadcast on FOX, while every Mariners postseason game will be broadcast on TBS.
