Seattle is scheduled to host Arizona at 4:05 PM Eastern on Sunday, October 16. The Seattle Mariners are in the MLB playoffs for the first time since 2001 and will be facing the Houston Astros in the ALDS.
The Mariners are scheduled to host Game 3 of the series on Saturday, and Game 4 on Sunday if necessary. The Seahawks don’t want the Seattle sports audience to be split on Sunday if they can avoid it.
There are a few issues. There is no guarantee the Mariners will have a game that day. We also don’t know what time that MLB playoff game would be yet either.
Don’t expect NBC to be willing to swap games on Sunday night; they have the 4-1 Cowboys visiting the 5-0 Eagles, which is one of the most desirable matchups possible.
