Chiefs Visit Seahawks in Sunday Night Football Showdown
Kansas City, still undefeated, faces a struggling Seattle team in a Week 7 matchup.
Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs will visit Sam Darnold's Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field for a Sunday Night Football game on October 25, 2026. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC.
The Chiefs enter the contest with a perfect 5-0 record, positioning them as one of the NFL's three remaining undefeated teams. Their performance has been significantly boosted by running back Kenneth Walker III, who has set records for rushing yards by a player on a new team through the first five games of the season. Kansas City is coming off a bye week.
In contrast, the Seahawks have faced a more challenging start to their season, holding a 3-3 record. They are looking to rebound after close losses to the Commanders, 49ers, and Broncos, each by three points or less. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged the team's need for alignment after their recent defeat, stating, "I think we’re definitely more aligned as a team than we were a few days ago and I’m excited about where we can go, honestly."
Despite their differing records, oddsmakers have set Seattle as a 2.5-point favorite for the game. NBC Sports highlighted the unique dynamic of the matchup, noting that "Kenneth Walker will make his return to Seattle and if there’s one team that can slow down KW3, it’s the Seahawks."
Fans without cable can stream the game for free through a five-day trial of DIRECTV. The service offers live TV streaming packages that include NBC, such as the MySports Genre Pack or MyNews Genre Pack.
