The Seahawks’ first trip through the AFC West comes with a familiar-looking opponent and a broadcast setup that keeps this one mostly regional.
Seattle faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, and CBS has the 1:25 p.m. PT window for the game.
But this matchup sits well behind the network’s bigger draws: the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game is the top billing, with Denver Broncos vs.
San Francisco 49ers as the secondary window. In practical terms, that leaves Seahawks-Chargers as a limited distribution game, with even Alaska and Hawaii left out.
If you want to catch it on your local CBS station, your best odds are in Washington, Oregon, western Idaho, a small slice of western Montana, or the Los Angeles and San Diego markets. The 506 Sports green zone is the place to check if you’re unsure.
Andrew Catalon and former New England Patriots safety Logan Ryan will be on the call. Ryan won two Super Bowls with the Patriots and lost one with the San Francisco 49ers.
Seahawks fans should already be familiar with Catalon’s voice. He was on the call for Seattle’s 44-13 win over the New Orleans Saints last year, the 2024 loss to the New York Giants, and a couple of Seahawks games in 2023.
The Chargers come in at 0-3 and are dealing with injuries, but Seattle still gets a team that can’t be brushed aside. It also marks the first time Jim Harbaugh will face the Seahawks in a meaningful game without Pete Carroll on the sideline since he quarterbacked an eventual 1-15 San Diego Chargers team to a 17-15 loss at Husky Stadium in 2000.
Seattle’s visibility is about to spike after this. Over the next month, the Seahawks will either be the featured game in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers or land in national TV windows in Weeks 6-8 at the Denver Broncos, against the Kansas City Chiefs, and against the Chicago Bears.

Seahawks Suddenly Face A Tough Christian Haynes Decision After Latest Loss
Turnovers helped sink Seattle in its loss to the 49ers, and the fallout is reaching beyond the scoreboard as the trade deadline approaches. The Seahawks have been weighing possible roster tweaks, including whether to use guard Christian Haynes as part of a move to help fill the need at running back.
Haynes has been playing well enough lately to draw attention, which makes him one of the more interesting names in the mix. Still, dealing him would come with a real cost up front, since it could open another hole on the offensive line unless Seattle gets the right return in any deal. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Have 2 Players Under Pressure As Problems Keep Mounting
The Seahawks are 3-2 and heading into a road matchup against a strong opponent on short rest, which only sharpens the attention on how many issues are still following them from week to week. Close losses have already exposed the same problem areas, from a run game that hasnt given the offense enough balance to turnovers and a defense that has had trouble matching up with bigger receivers.
Josh Jobe and Sam Darnold are among the players feeling that pressure most right now, with both needing cleaner play if Seattle is going to steady itself against a tougher stretch. Jobes role in the secondary has become more important as the Seahawks try to solve those coverage issues, while Darnolds handling of the offense will be a central part of whether the team can turn good moments into something more lasting.

Seahawks Suddenly Have A Josh Jobe Problem They Can't Ignore
Josh Jobes latest outing against the 49ers was the kind that can quickly change a cornerbacks standing, especially on a defense that has spent the offseason reworking its secondary. Seattle signed Jobe to a three-year contract, and the expectation was that he would factor into the mix as the Seahawks reshaped the room around him with Trevon Diggs now in the picture and other personnel moves already altering the depth chart.
What makes the situation worth watching is that Jobe is no longer just fighting for snaps in the abstract. The Seahawks have competition building behind him, and a rough performance against a divisional rival puts real pressure on how the team views its starting options going forward. If Seattle decides the current setup is not enough, more changes to the cornerback group would not be a surprise. [Read more 🡒]
