Over-the-air TV antenna
Since this game airs on FOX, fans in the Pittsburgh and Seattle markets, as well as other regions where FOX assigns this matchup, can watch free over the air with a digital antenna tuned to their local FOX affiliate. Coverage outside these areas will depend on regional network assignments.
Team-specific platforms
Both the Steelers and Seahawks offer team apps and official websites with radio broadcasts, highlights, and team programming. However, live regular-season game broadcasts are not carried on these platforms due to NFL rights restrictions. Fans should use radio networks or the official broadcast partners for live coverage.
How to watch Steelers vs Seahawks out of market
The Steelers vs Seahawks game airs on FOX in a Sunday Afternoon regional slot, which means coverage is not nationwide. Only viewers in the home markets – Pittsburgh (WPGH-TV FOX 53) and Seattle (KCPQ FOX 13) – are guaranteed to see the game locally. Fans outside those DMAs may receive a different matchup depending on their region.
NFL Sunday Ticket (YouTube TV)
The official way to watch every out-of-market Sunday Afternoon game in the US is through NFL Sunday Ticket, available exclusively on YouTube and YouTube TV. It provides access to all regional FOX and CBS games outside your local market. Pricing starts at around $349 for the season as a standalone purchase, or it can be bundled with YouTube TV.
NFL Game Pass International
Outside the U.S., the NFL offers NFL Game Pass International, distributed through DAZN and Amazon Prime Video in select regions. It streams every NFL game live, including regular season, playoffs, and the Super Bowl, plus access to NFL Network and NFL RedZone. Subscription prices vary by country. Because the service is geo-restricted, fans traveling abroad will need a VPN to sign up or log in from outside eligible regions.
NFL RedZone
For fans who want a broader view rather than a full game broadcast, NFL RedZone provides live look-ins at every touchdown and key highlight across all Sunday Afternoon games. It’s available as a sports add-on through YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo. Note that RedZone does not offer complete coverage of any single matchup.
Traveling abroad – free-to-air broadcasters
Some international broadcasters also offer selected NFL games for free. In Australia, 7plus streams two Sunday Afternoon matchups each week along with Thursday Night Football. Channel 5 in the UK carries Monday Night Football and one rotating Sunday game, while New Zealand’s TVNZ+ offers certain Sunday games. These platforms are geo-restricted to their home countries, may feature different commentary, and require a VPN to access while traveling abroad.
Local antenna (home markets only)
Fans physically located in the Pittsburgh or Seattle DMAs can watch this game for free with a digital antenna tuned to their local FOX affiliate. This option only applies inside the teams’ home markets and does not extend to out-of-market viewers.
