Seahawks Prepared to Delay Kickoff as Mariners' Postseason Takes Priority

Final kickoff timing will be set after MLB assigns ALDS slots once the Wild Card round ends.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said the team has no issue adjusting and will simply shift its pregame routine.
  • Seattle officials estimate Sunday's game against the Buccaneers could be pushed back 90 to 150 minutes pending MLB's schedule.
  • The Mariners have ALDS home games at adjacent T-Mobile Park, which takes precedence to avoid traffic and crowd-management conflicts.
  • A Week 7 Monday night matchup with the Texans would be affected only if the Mariners host a later-round game, which is not yet known.
  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported MLB will not finalize NLDS/ALDS start times until after the Wild Card round, leaving exact NFL changes undecided.
