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.

Rams Hype Is Already Looking Awkward To Seahawks Fans
The early buzz around the Rams was loud enough to spill into every corner of the division, but Seahawks fans have had plenty of reason to take a second look at those predictions. What was supposed to be a heavyweight start for Los Angeles has not matched the preseason talk, and Seattles place in the conversation has only sharpened the contrast. Even with injuries and other challenges, the Seahawks have managed to stay ahead of the Rams in the one area that matters most right now: actual results on the field.
For Seattle, it is a reminder that September hype can age badly in a hurry. The Seahawks are still working through their own issues, but they remain the defending Super Bowl champions and have at least looked more stable than the team many expected to set the pace in the NFC West. It is early enough that neither side is anywhere close to a final judgment, but the gap between expectation and reality is already giving Seahawks fans something to enjoy while the rest of the league keeps waiting for the Rams to live up to the billing.

Seahawks Already Face A Tough Question About Their First Round Back
Jadarian Prices Week 2 chest injury has already complicated a backfield the Seahawks hoped would settle quickly after making him their first-round answer at running back. Price is expected to miss at least one game, and the early stretch of his Seattle tenure has not gone smoothly, with injuries hanging around since training camp and ball-security issues surfacing in recent games.
The bigger issue for Seattle is how much patience to show with a player brought in as a replacement for Kenneth Walker III, especially after the club already knew the position came with injury risk and other options were on the board. Even before Price is cleared to return, the Seahawks are staring at an uncomfortable question about whether their long-term plan at running back is already more fragile than they wanted to admit.

Chargers Face A Justin Herbert Problem They Cant Ignore
The Chargers head into Week 4 against the Seahawks still trying to sort out what their offense is supposed to look like under new coordinators on both sides of the ball. Through three games, the operation around Justin Herbert has looked out of sync, and the interior of the offensive line has become a real concern as the team searches for cleaner execution and more consistency.
Herbert remains the central figure in all of it, because the Chargers simply do not have much margin left at 0-3. Seattle is getting a version of Los Angeles that is still trying to settle on answers, and the pressure is only going to grow if the offense keeps forcing Herbert to work through muddy pockets and shaky timing instead of playing to the quarterbacks strengths.
