Information updated as of October 23, 2026. NBC Sports and NFL.com both list the game at 8:20 PM ET on NBC.
Why does this game matter?
Kansas City arrive as the league’s last unbeaten team after a 22-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead. Seattle have lost two in a row, but they still hold the title and the loudest home crowd in the sport. NBC Sports also points out a storyline that Seattle fans will not enjoy: running back Kenneth Walker now leads the Chiefs into his old stadium.
What Time Is Sunday Night Football in Nigeria?
Sunday Night Football kicks off at 8:20 PM Eastern Time, and the US is still on daylight saving time on 25 October. That makes it 00:20 GMT, which is 1:20am WAT on Monday morning in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Plan ahead for the next few weeks, because the gap changes. US clocks go back on Sunday 1 November, so from Week 8 onwards an 8:20 PM ET kickoff lands at 2:20am WAT. Nigeria does not change its clocks, so only the US side moves.
How Can You Watch Sunday Night Football?
You can watch NBC Sunday Night Football in three legal ways, depending on where you live.
- NBC (US TV): the game airs live on NBC, and Football Night in America, the studio pre-game show, starts at 7:00 PM ET (midnight WAT).
- Peacock (US streaming): the NBC Sunday Night Football live stream runs on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, which needs a paid plan.
- NFL Game Pass on DAZN (Nigeria and most of the world): DAZN says Game Pass shows every NFL game live or on demand outside the US and China, with RedZone and NFL Network included.
Prices for Game Pass in Nigeria vary by plan, so check the DAZN app before you subscribe. DAZN was running up to 75% off the first three months of its instalment plans at the time of writing.
Can you watch Sunday Night Football online free?
Searches for “sunday night football free live stream” and “watch sunday night football online free” mostly lead to illegal sites. Those streams break often, carry malware and pop-up betting adverts, and they break copyright law. We do not link to them, just as we only point to legal streams in our Argentina match today live guide. The legal free options are limited: US viewers can watch NBC free over the air with an antenna. Game Pass also includes “Game in 40”, a condensed replay, if the 1:20am kickoff is too late for you.

Sunday Night Football Schedule 2026: The Next Four Games
NBC’s 2026 schedule runs every Sunday through Week 18. The NFL can use “flexible scheduling” up to twice between Weeks 5 and 10, and more freely from Week 11, to swap a better game into the Sunday night slot. Here is who plays Sunday Night Football this week and over the next three weeks.

After that, NBC shows Minnesota against San Francisco from Mexico City on 22 November, part of a busy year for the city after the World Cup that our Mexico national team guide covers. Chiefs at Bills follows on Thanksgiving night, 26 November. Always check the official NFL.com Sunday Night Football schedule the week before, in case a flex change moves a game.
Who Won Sunday Night Football Last Week?
The Green Bay Packers won last week’s Sunday Night Football game, beating the Dallas Cowboys 23-13 at Lambeau Field on 18 October. Green Bay built a 10-0 lead early and never let Dallas closer than one score after that.

Sunday Night Football Predictions: Chiefs at Seahawks
The market and the models disagree, which tells you this is close. Bookmakers have Seattle -2.5 and give them roughly a 57% chance, yet ESPN’s FPI makes Kansas City a 0.7-point favourite with a 53% win chance. The total opened at 45.5 and has dropped to 42.5, so the market expects defence to decide it.
Our lean: Chiefs +2.5. An unbeaten team getting points is rare, and the spread has already moved from Seattle -3 to -2.5. Running back Zach Charbonnet’s fitness is the main Seattle team news to watch, and NBC Sports thinks the total could climb to 43 or 43.5 if he plays. Treat this as an opinion, not a certainty. For football picks closer to home, see our correct football prediction page.
Is a Sunday Night Football accumulator bet worth it?
A sunday night football accumulator bet usually joins the late game to other weekend picks, and the risk grows with every leg. Two coin-flip selections at roughly 50% each give you only about a 25% chance of landing both. This Sunday, many Nigerian punters will pair the game with El Clásico at 9:00pm WAT, which our Real Madrid news now briefing previews, or with today’s Premier League matches.
Keep two things in mind. First, the NFL leg only settles in the early hours of Monday, Nigerian time, so you will wait all night for the result. Second, stick to licensed Nigerian bookmakers, compare them in our 8xbet vs SportyBet and 8xbet vs BetKing reviews, and learn how correct score bets on 8xbet work if you mix in soccer legs, and read why no football prediction is zero-risk.
18+ only. Betting can be addictive, so set a limit and stake only what you can afford to lose. Read our responsible gambling guide before you place any bet.
