The 49ers finally know when they’ll play the Seahawks in their final game of the 2025 regular season.
The teams will kick off at 5 p.m. next Saturday at Levi’s Stadium with the NFC West title in the balance after the 49ers’ dramatic win over the Bears on Sunday night.
Sunday’s finale will bookend a season that started with the 49ers in Seattle, eking out a 17-13 victory over the Seahawks as a late Brock Purdy touchdown to Jake Tonges earned them their first win of the season. Seattle has won 11 of its last 13 games to set up this showdown that will determine the NFC West.
If the 49ers beat the Seahawks in the finale, they will win the division. The Seahawks currently sit atop the NFC standings after beating the Panthers in Carolina on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Rams, who lost a dramatic Thursday night game 10 days ago to the Seahawks in Seattle, will also figure into the NFC West picture. They play Atlanta on Monday night and entered this weekend tied with the 49ers at 11-4, but trailing in the tiebreaker.
Whoever does not win the division out of the three will not only miss out on a potential bye week, but they will also have to go on the road in the first round of the playoffs as wild-card participants. The No. 5 seed will face the NFC South winner, determined by a Week 18 game between Carolina and Tampa Bay, while the No. 6 seed will have to play on the road at Philadelphia or Chicago.
The NFL also revealed the rest of its Week 18 slate on Sunday night.
