"The Seahawks will play on NBC at 8:20 p.m. ET. The league has not announced their Week 1 opponent. The Rams and 49ers will play on Friday morning at 10:35 am local time in Australia, which is 8:35 p.m. ET."
"The game in Melbourne will be the first regular season NFL game played in Australia. The Rams were announced as the host team in February 2024, and the 49ers were announced as their opponent last month."
The NFL announced that the Seattle Seahawks will open the season on a Wednesday instead of the traditional Thursday night opener. This change is due to the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers playing in Melbourne, Australia, on Thursday night. The Seahawks' game will be broadcast on NBC at 8:20 p.m. ET, with their opponent yet to be announced. The game in Australia marks the first regular season NFL game played there, part of a record nine international games scheduled for the 2026 season.
