Seahawks Prepare to Delay Home Kickoff Pending Mariners’ ALDS Schedule

The timing depends on MLB setting postseason start times after the Wild Card round as Seattle officials weigh safety and traffic near the adjacent stadiums.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said a shift would be "not that big of a move" and that the team will adjust its routine without issue.
  • Seattle officials have indicated the Week 5 game against the Buccaneers could be pushed back 90 to 150 minutes to avoid overlap with a Mariners home ALDS game.
  • A delay of that length would move the scheduled 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff to roughly 5:35–6:35 p.m. ET if required.
  • The Week 7 Monday night game against the Texans remains unresolved and is considered less likely to move, with reports noting it is hard to imagine a start later than 10:00 p.m. ET.
  • Because T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field sit next to each other, MLB’s postseason timing takes priority and city logistics drive the need to stagger crowds.
