It’s a battle of marquee quarterbacks when Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks host Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions on NFL Wild Card Saturday!

While the Lions and Seahawks enter tonight’s matchup with similar records, Seattle has once again dominated at home, finishing the season with a 7-1 record at CenturyLink Field. Which team will advance to the next round? Let’s find out!

WHAT TIME DOES THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS. DETROIT LIONS GAME BEGIN?

The Lions and Seahawks matchup is scheduled for an 8:15 P.M. Eastern kickoff.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM DETROIT LIONS VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS GAME?

The Seahawks/Lions game is being broadcast on NBC. If you have a cable subscription, you’re all set: you can live stream Seahawks vs. Lions free via the NBC Sports Live Extra app, available on iTunes, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Android, and more.

Cordcutters in search of a new way to stream the game can do so via Sling TV, whose Blue package carries NBC (more on Sling below). If you’re a Verizon customer, you can also stream certain games airing on the NFL Network, FOX, CBS, NBC, and ESPN on the NFL Mobile app or go90 app, which is available to download for free via iTunes or Google Play.

Another option is DirecTV Now, a new live streaming service similar to Sling TV and PlayStation Vue. However, NBC is currently only being offered in select markets (mostly in bigger cities). DirecTV Now packages begin at $35 per month.

And don’t forget about PlayStation Vue! Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to NBC.

WHAT ABOUT NFL GAME PASS?

NFL Game Pass shows games that have already concluded. If you’re fine with on demand NON-live games, sign up for $99/year.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is an amazing time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Blue package, which includes major networks like CNN, Fox, and NBC, normally costs $25 a month, but they are currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
