How to Watch ‘Thursday Night Football’ Without Cable: 49ers vs. Seahawks

It’s an NFC West clash this Thursday when the 49ers head to Seattle for a game that's likely to make or break their season. 2024 hasn’t gone well for the 49ers so far. They're 2-3 coming out of Week 5, but currently sit at number 14 of 16 total teams in the league. Nevertheless, a win over the Seahawks this week could help them reach the top of the NFC West. Both teams are hoping to recover from a Week 5 loss, but the stakes are especially dire for the 49ers, for whom a Week 6 loss would mean dropping to 0-4 in the conference. The Seahawks were on a roll before losing their last two games, but as 11th in the league, are in a safer position than the 49ers. This guide will give you all the info you need to watch “Thursday Night Football.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the Week 6 “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the 49ers and the Seahawks:

• Who’s playing: San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks
• When’s kickoff: 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT on Oct. 10
• Where’s the game: Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington
• Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video

Despite a more favorable record overall, the Seahawks' recent losses are catching up to them, making them 3.5-point underdogs for this week’s home game. Both teams are playing significantly crippled, with each team sitting out eight players due to injury. The 49ers have a notable rivalry with the Seahawks, having faced off 52 times since the ‘70s. The Seahawks hold the all-time record, winning 30-22 games. After drafting Russell Wilson in 2012, the Seahawks dominated the rivalry with the 49ers, but since Wilson's departure in 2022, the 49ers have turned it around, winning the last five games for their longest streak against Seattle. Will their luck hold through Week 6’s Thursday Night Football game?
