Immediately after the Seattle Seahawks capped a dominant 41–6 performance against the San Francisco 49ers, the Seahawks organization moved quickly to release an official announcement following the NFL’s final, pivotal ruling regarding the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The message from Seattle was unmistakable: all uncertainty is gone. The NFL has completed its confirmations on kickoff time, broadcast window, and logistics for the season-defining matchup. With every detail locked in, the Seahawks have shifted their full attention to the most important preparation week of the year.

Per the NFL’s official decision, Seahawks vs. Rams (NFC Championship Game) will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET (Eastern Time) on Sunday, January 25, 2026. That national broadcast time corresponds to 3:30 p.m. PT (Pacific Time) on the West Coast. The game will be played at Lumen Field in Seattle and aired on FOX, with pregame coverage beginning several hours earlier.

The win over San Francisco was more than a result—it was a statement. Seattle seized control early, dictated tempo throughout, and turned what many expected to be a tight playoff contest into a one-sided showcase. The defense smothered the 49ers, while the offense consistently forced San Francisco into reaction mode.

As soon as the final whistle sounded, Seahawks leadership convened and agreed to issue the announcement in response to the NFL’s final ruling. The organization emphasized that the clarity of the schedule signals the end of any extended celebration and the start of an all-business approach.

Inside the locker room, the message has been consistent: no complacency. Team sources indicated that the 41–6 victory only matters if Seattle maintains its focus against a familiar, battle-tested rival like the Rams.

On the other side, Los Angeles enters the matchup with a reputation for toughness and playoff poise, unbothered by hostile environments. Seattle understands the challenge ahead. In its statement, the team stressed that this will not be a game decided by emotion, but by discipline, details, and composure.

“The NFL’s decision is final,” a member of the Seahawks’ coaching staff said succinctly. “What happens next is on us.”

In January, dominant wins command attention.
But with kickoff now set, only absolute focus will determine who advances to the Super Bowl.
