Check the Paramount Plus app or website for today's Seahawks schedule
The fastest way to know if a Seahawks game is on Paramount Plus today is to open the app or go to paramountplus.com and search for "Seahawks" or "NFL". Paramount Plus carries some NFL games through its partnership with CBS, but not every Seahawks game appears there. The app will show you what's available to watch right now, with start times and which channel is broadcasting.
If you have a Paramount Plus subscription, you can filter by "Sports" in the app menu to see all live games scheduled for today. The listings update throughout the day as games begin, so check a few hours before game time to confirm. If nothing shows up for the Seahawks, the game is on a different network.
Key Takeaways
- Paramount Plus carries CBS broadcasts of some NFL games, but the Seahawks play on multiple networks depending on the week.
- Search "Seahawks" directly in the Paramount Plus app or website to see if today's game is available on that service.
- The NFL schedule changes weekly, so a Seahawks game on Paramount Plus one week may be on Fox or ESPN the next week.
- If the Seahawks game is not on Paramount Plus, check your local TV listings or the NFL's official website to find which network has it.
Why the Seahawks game might not be on Paramount Plus
Paramount Plus has the rights to broadcast some CBS games, but the Seahawks play on different networks throughout the season. When Seattle plays a game that CBS is broadcasting nationally, that game will be on Paramount Plus. However, many Seahawks games air on Fox (for NFC West matchups), ESPN (for Monday Night Football), or other networks that Paramount Plus does not carry.
The network broadcasting the game depends on the opponent, the time slot, and which conference the other team belongs to. This means you cannot assume the Seahawks will be on Paramount Plus just because one game was there last week. You have to check the schedule for each specific game.
How to find which network has the Seahawks game
If Paramount Plus does not have the game, go to NFL.com and look up the Seahawks schedule. The schedule page lists the opponent, date, time, and broadcasting network for every game. You can also check your local TV guide by searching "Seahawks game today" in Google, which pulls the broadcast information from your region.
The Seattle Seahawks' official website and social media accounts also post which channel will broadcast each game. If you follow their Twitter or Facebook page, you will see reminders on game day with the network and start time. This is often the quickest way to confirm without digging through multiple websites.
What you need to watch on Paramount Plus
To watch a Seahawks game on Paramount Plus, you need an active subscription. Paramount Plus offers a free tier with ads and a paid tier without ads. Both tiers include access to live sports, so you do not need to upgrade to watch the game if you already have the free version.
You can watch on the Paramount Plus app (available on phones, tablets, and streaming devices), through a web browser on paramountplus.com, or through certain cable providers that bundle Paramount Plus with their service. Make sure you are logged in before the game starts so you do not miss the opening kickoff.
Checking your local CBS affiliate as a backup
If you have a Paramount Plus subscription but prefer to watch on your TV, you can also tune in to your local CBS station at the same time the game airs on Paramount Plus. CBS broadcasts the same game simultaneously on both the app and the cable channel, so you have the option to choose. This is helpful if you want to watch on a larger screen or if you already have cable.
Your local CBS station number varies by city. You can find it by searching "CBS channel [your city]" or by looking at your cable box's channel guide. The game will air at the same time on both Paramount Plus and your local CBS station.
Setting reminders so you do not miss the game
Paramount Plus allows you to add games to your watchlist. Open the app, find the Seahawks game if it is listed, and tap the heart or bookmark icon to save it. The app will send you a notification before the game starts, which helps if you are busy and might forget the time.
You can also set a phone reminder for 15 minutes before kickoff. This gives you time to open the app, make sure you are logged in, and get settled before the broadcast begins. If the game is on a different network, set the reminder for that channel instead.
Frequently Asked Questions

What if the Seahawks game is on ESPN or Fox instead of CBS?

How far in advance does Paramount Plus show which games are available?
The NFL schedule is released before the season starts, so you can see which games are on CBS weeks ahead of time. However, Paramount Plus typically updates its app listings a few days before each game airs, so check closer to game day to be certain.
