The No. 6 San Francisco 49ers are up against the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks in the second Divisional Round matchup of the NFL playoffs. The Niners advanced past Wild Card Weekend with a thrilling 23-19 win over No. 3 Philadelphia, and the Seahawks have enjoyed a few weeks off thanks to their top seeding.
Seattle’s last game of the season was also against San Francisco, when the Seahawks took down their NFC West opponents 13-3. That was the second regular-season game between the 49ers and the Seahawks; the first went to San Francisco 17-13. That means these teams are chasing best-of-three bragging rights, as well as a spot in the NFC Championship against either the Los Angeles Chargers or the Chicago Bears.

How to Watch 49ers vs. Seahawks Playoff Game Online
The 49ers vs. Seahawks playoff game is airing on Fox. Cord-cutters will need to sign up for (or get a free trial to) a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. Here are four of the best options:
DirecTV
➤ $39.99/month
➤ Five-day free trial
➤ Up to 185+ channels
DirecTV is our favorite live TV streaming service right now, and it carries Fox in five of its streaming plans. Packages that carry Fox begin at $39.99 a month, but all of them start with a five-day free trial (use that to stream the 49ers vs. Seahawks for free). Overall, DirecTV is a great option for sports fans with up to 185+ channels, including ESPN, local channels, RSNs, and all other major sports broadcasters.
Fubo
➤ $55.99/month
➤ Five-day free trial
➤ Up to 300+ channels
Another great live TV streaming service for football is Fubo. This one offers a five-day free trial, which you can use to get a free 49ers vs. Seahawks stream, and pricing starts at $45.99 for your first month. After those introductory deals, pricing settles at $55.99 a month. All plans carry Fox.
Sling
➤ $19.99/month
➤ Short-term passes available
➤ Up to 46 channels
We’re also big fans of Sling’s affordable, streamlined packages. Fox is available in three of Sling’s plans — Select, Blue, and Orange + Blue — which start at just $19.99 a month. The two downsides are that Sling doesn’t offer a free trial, and Fox coverage isn’t available in as many markets as the other options listed here.
Hulu + Live TV
➤ $89.99/month
➤ Three-day free trial
➤ 95+ channels
With more than 95 channels (including Fox), Hulu’s on-demand library, Disney+, and ESPN’s streaming app, Hulu + Live TV is a great bundle deal at $89.99 a month. Better yet, you get a three-day free trial to start.
