Seattle Seahawks' Next Opponent if They Win The Seattle Seahawks recently defeated the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 (or 13-3 per varying reports) on January 18, 2026, securing the NFC's top seed and a home divisional playoff game.

Playoff Path Forward

With this victory, Seattle advances as the top NFC seed, hosting the NFC Championship Game next if they win their upcoming matchup. Reports confirm they shut down San Francisco's offense, earning two home wins from a Super Bowl berth at Levi's Stadium.

  • Seattle triumphs over 49ers sends them to January 25 NFC title game at Lumen Field.
  • Potential foes include Rams (if they beat Bears) or Bears themselves, based on bracket.
