The Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals matchup is officially scheduled to kick off at 4:25 p.m.
ET on Sunday, September 20, but some unverified speculation has begun circulating about the possibility of the game being moved into a prime-time window.
One possible time being mentioned in that speculation is 8:20 p.m. ET, the traditional Sunday night slot.
However, nothing has been officially confirmed by the NFL, the Seahawks or the Cardinals, meaning fans should continue treating 4:25 p.m.
ET as the official kickoff time unless a formal announcement is made.
For now, the message is simple: keep an eye on the schedule as Sunday approaches.
The Seattle Seahawks are heading to Arizona.
After opening the 2026 regular season with a hard-fought victory, Seattle will travel to State Farm Stadium for an important NFC West showdown against the Arizona Cardinals in Week2.
For Seahawks fans, this matchup already carries plenty of importance.
A divisional battle this early in the season gives Seattle an opportunity to build momentum, strengthen its position in the NFC West and make another statement away from home.
And with speculation now surrounding the kickoff time, anticipation around this Seahawks-Cardinals rivalry matchup is only beginning to build.
Here is everything fans need to know before kickoff.

💙💚 Seattle Heads to Arizona With Momentum
Seattle began the 2026 regular season with a hard-fought 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots at Lumen Field.
The Seahawks are therefore 1-0 heading into preparations for their Week 2 divisional matchup.
That opening victory featured several encouraging moments for Seattle.
Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba produced a 122-yard performance, while Seattle’s defense made several critical plays to protect the lead late in the game.
Now comes a very different challenge.
Seattle must travel to Arizona and face a familiar NFC West opponent inside State Farm Stadium.
🔥 Why This Game Matters
Divisional games always carry additional weight.
Seattle and Arizona will meet twice during the 2026 regular season, with the second matchup scheduled for November 8 at Lumen Field.
That means Sunday’s game represents the first opportunity for either team to gain an advantage in the season series.
For Seattle, starting the year with consecutive victories — including a divisional road win — would provide valuable early momentum.
For Arizona, defending its home field against a division rival would be equally important.
The NFC West has rarely offered easy afternoons, and Seattle-Cardinals games have often produced physical, unpredictable football.
🏟️ State Farm Stadium
The matchup will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, home of the Cardinals.
Seattle’s official event listing confirms the Week 2 game at State Farm Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 1:25 p.m.
Pacific time.
Playing indoors in Arizona removes many of the weather concerns that can affect outdoor September games, putting even more emphasis on execution, turnovers and situational football.
👀 What to Watch
For Seattle, one major storyline will be whether the offense can build on its opening-week performance.
Another will be the Seahawks defense.
Road divisional games often come down to a handful of possessions, making third-down defense, red-zone execution and turnovers especially important.
Seattle will also want to avoid giving Arizona short fields through penalties or giveaways.
If the Seahawks can control those areas, they will give themselves an opportunity to leave Glendale with an important NFC West victory.
🏁 Final Word
Clear your Sunday afternoon plans, Seahawks fans.
