Get ready for an early-season NFC West showdown as the Seattle Seahawks travel to Arizona to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL regular season.
The divisional rivals are scheduled to meet on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT, with the game scheduled to air on FOX. Seattle’s official 2026 schedule confirms both the kickoff time and broadcast network.
For Seattle, this matchup begins an important early stretch away from home. After opening the season against the New England Patriots at Lumen Field, the Seahawks head on the road for consecutive games against Arizona and Washington. That makes the Cardinals matchup an important opportunity for Seattle to build momentum before another challenging road assignment.
And because this is the NFC West, there will be plenty more than an ordinary Week 2 victory at stake.
Seattle and Arizona know each other extremely well, and divisional games often carry a different level of intensity. Every possession matters, familiarity between the teams can create unexpected tactical battles, and an early divisional victory could become extremely valuable when the playoff race begins taking shape later in the season.
📺 HOW TO WATCH
The game will be broadcast on FOX, meaning viewers in markets carrying the matchup can watch through their local FOX station. Seattle’s official viewing guide also lists FOX as one of the networks carrying Seahawks games during the season.
Fans who prefer streaming have several potential options depending on location and eligibility. NFL+ provides live local and primetime regular-season games on supported phones and tablets, while authenticated viewers can access their local FOX coverage through FOX-supported streaming options. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV is designed for eligible out-of-market Sunday afternoon games.
International Seahawks fans can also check NFL Game Pass International, with availability varying by country. Because streaming rights and blackout restrictions differ by location, fans should confirm availability in their region before kickoff.
🎙️ RADIO COVERAGE
For Seahawks fans who cannot watch the game, Seattle’s radio broadcast provides another way to follow every snap.
The Seahawks list Seattle Sports 710 AM and KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM as their flagship radio outlets. The broadcast team features Steve Raible, Dave Wyman and Jen Mueller, giving Seattle fans complete play-by-play coverage and analysis throughout the afternoon.
🔥 A DIVISIONAL BATTLE IN THE DESERT
The atmosphere at State Farm Stadium should add another layer to this matchup. Arizona will have home-field advantage, but Seattle will arrive knowing that winning divisional games on the road can make an enormous difference over a 17-game NFL season.
The teams will also meet again later in the year. Seattle’s schedule has the Cardinals visiting Lumen Field in Week 9 on November 8, making the September matchup the opening chapter of their 2026 divisional series.
For both teams, Week 2 represents an early chance to establish position inside one of football’s most competitive divisions.
