Paramount Plus carries some Seahawks games, but not all of them
Paramount Plus shows CBS games only. Since the Seattle Seahawks play on CBS, Fox, and sometimes ESPN or Amazon Prime Video, you will see some Seahawks matchups on Paramount Plus but miss others depending on which network has the broadcast rights that week.
The NFL schedule rotates which games air on which networks. If a Seahawks game is scheduled on CBS, it will stream on Paramount Plus at the same time it airs on television. If the game is on Fox, ESPN, or Amazon Prime Video, you will need a different streaming service or cable login to watch it.
Paramount Plus does not offer a way to filter by team or league, so you will need to check the weekly schedule to see whether your game is available.
Key Takeaways
- Paramount Plus streams only CBS broadcasts, so you can watch Seahawks games only when CBS has the rights that week.
- The NFL schedule rotates games across CBS, Fox, ESPN, and Amazon Prime Video, so you may need multiple services to watch all Seahawks games in a season.
- You can check the Seahawks' official schedule or the NFL schedule on the Paramount Plus app to see which games are available each week.
- A Paramount Plus subscription costs between $5.99 and $11.99 per month depending on whether you choose the ad-supported or ad-free plan.
How to find Seahawks games on Paramount Plus
Open the Paramount Plus app or website and look for the Sports section. During the NFL season, CBS games appear in a dedicated NFL category. You can browse the upcoming schedule to see which games are available to stream.
The easiest way to check is to visit the Seattle Seahawks' official website or the NFL's official schedule page, find the game you want to watch, and confirm it says "CBS" next to the time. If it does, that game will be on Paramount Plus.
Paramount Plus streams games live during the broadcast window and does not offer on-demand replays of full games the next day, so you will need to watch during the live window or check whether the game is available as a highlight package afterward.
Which networks show Seahawks games and when
The Seahawks play on four different networks throughout the season. CBS and Fox each carry roughly half the regular season games. Thursday Night Football games air on Amazon Prime Video. Monday Night Football games air on ESPN.
Your local CBS or Fox affiliate also broadcasts games, which means you can watch on cable or an antenna if you have one. The network rotation changes week to week, so there is no pattern you can memorize—you have to check the schedule each week to know where to find your game.
Paramount Plus subscription tiers and what they include
Paramount Plus offers two subscription levels. The ad-supported plan costs $5.99 per month and includes all the same content as the paid tier but with advertisements during shows and sports. The ad-free plan costs $11.99 per month and removes most ads.
Both plans include live CBS broadcasts, which means both will stream Seahawks games on CBS. The difference is whether you see commercials. Neither plan includes Fox, ESPN, or Amazon Prime Video broadcasts, so you cannot watch Seahawks games on those networks through Paramount Plus alone.
Paramount Plus also offers a bundle with Showtime and CBS All Access for a higher monthly fee, but this does not change which sports broadcasts are available.
What to do if the Seahawks game is not on CBS
If the game is on Fox, you will need Fox or a cable login to watch it. If the game is on Amazon Prime Video, you will need an Amazon Prime membership (which includes Prime Video). If the game is on ESPN, you will need ESPN Plus, a cable login, or an ESPN streaming bundle.
Many cable providers offer streaming apps that let you watch live broadcasts if you have an active cable subscription. Check your cable provider's app to see whether they offer live sports streaming.
Some games are also available through the NFL Plus subscription service, which costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. NFL Plus streams out-of-market games and replays, but it does not stream your local team's games live—it is designed for fans who want to watch teams outside their region.
Blackout rules and local broadcast restrictions
If you live in the Seattle area, your local CBS or Fox affiliate broadcasts Seahawks games for free over the air. Paramount Plus respects these local blackout rules, which means if a game is being broadcast on your local CBS station, Paramount Plus may not stream it to you in that area.
Blackout rules exist to protect local broadcasters and encourage people to watch on cable or antenna. If you cannot stream a game on Paramount Plus because of blackout restrictions, check whether your local CBS or Fox station is broadcasting it instead.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Paramount Plus is a standalone streaming service that does not require a cable subscription. You pay Paramount Plus directly, and you can watch CBS broadcasts including Seahawks games on CBS without a cable login.
Can I watch Seahawks games on demand after they air?
Paramount Plus does not offer full-game replays on demand. You can watch highlights and recap shows, but to see the full game, you typically need to watch it live or check whether your cable provider offers on-demand replays through their app.
Will Paramount Plus show playoff games?
Playoff games air on CBS, Fox, ESPN, or Amazon Prime Video depending on the round. If a Seahawks playoff game is on CBS, it will stream on Paramount Plus. If it is on another network, you will need that service to watch it.
