Good news for those looking to find the TV channel for 49ers vs. Seahawks on "Sunday Night Football": This game, scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET, is being nationally televised by NBC in Week 17. So yes, you get the game on TV.
The NFL made the easy call to flex this matchup into the "Sunday Night Football" window and tee it up as the last regular-season game of the year. The scenario is simple: This is the NFC West championship game, and while the winner will get a top three seed in the playoffs (potentially the No. 1 overall seed and/or a first-round bye), the loser will be forced to hit the road for the wild-card round.

Due in part to the injuries impacting the Seahawks heading into Sunday night's game, Seattle is a three-point home underdog. If the Seahawks upset the 49ers and win the NFC West, chances are quarterback Russell Wilson will be a big reason. With a win over San Francisco, Wilson would earn his 87th regular-season win, surpassing Tom Brady (86) for the most regular-season wins by a QB through his first eight seasons in NFL history.
Wilson's QB counterpart enters Sunday night's game on a bit of a hot streak, as well. The 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo needs 307 passing yards against the Seahawks to become the third San Francisco QB (Jeff Garcia and Steve Young) with 4,000 or more passing yards in a single season.
Below is all the info you need to watch 49ers vs. Seahawks on Sunday night, including the TV channels and kickoff time.
