Overview

• MLB will finalize the Mariners’ ALDS Game 2 start time by Friday, which will dictate any change to the Oct. 5 Seahawks–Buccaneers kickoff.
• If both events land in the same window, Seattle says the NFL game would be delayed approximately 90 to 150 minutes.
• A second, less likely conflict looms on Oct. 20, contingent on the Mariners hosting an ALCS Game 7 that afternoon before Seahawks–Texans on Monday Night Football.
• T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field sit about one-tenth of a mile apart with shared parking and access routes that cannot handle concurrent crowds.
• The teams, leagues and the city are coordinating contingencies after a similar clash was narrowly avoided in 2022.
