Seahawks vs Cardinals game day guide: Week 9 at Lumen Field

By Kyle Alm. Published 2026-10-26, updated 2026-11-03.

Updated Tuesday morning, November 3, after Seattle’s 34-17 loss to Chicago on Monday night, with both teams’ records, the first line and Arizona’s quarterback change. The first look was written the morning after Seattle beat Kansas City. Arizona comes to Lumen Field for the second half of the season series six days after Seattle’s Monday night game. Seattle won the first meeting 31-7 in Glendale on September 20. The Cardinals are 3-5 in Mike LaFleur’s first season, coming off a 33-30 overtime win at Dallas in which Gardner Minshew II replaced Jacoby Brissett, and Minshew starts here. This page will be updated as the line, the injury reports, the forecast and the game-day details are published; anything the teams or the stadium have not announced yet is marked that way.

The basics

How to watch

FOX has the game in its late-afternoon window, so in Seattle it is on FOX 13 (KCPQ), the FOX station, over the air, and on the live-TV streaming services that carry FOX. NFL+ streams it on phones and tablets. The Seahawks app carries the local radio call for listeners in the Seattle area. The FOX broadcast crew has not been announced; we add it in game week.

The line

As of Tuesday morning, November 3, at 6:45 a.m. Pacific, DraftKings has Seattle by 10.5 with a total of 43.5 and a moneyline of Seattle -625, Arizona +455, per ESPN’s game data. VegasInsider’s consensus at the same time was also Seattle -10.5 and 43.5; BetMGM, Hard Rock and Fanatics have Seattle -11. It opened Seattle -13.5 with a total of 45.5, before Seattle’s loss to Chicago and Arizona’s win at Dallas. ESPN’s matchup predictor gives Seattle an 81.9 percent chance. The week’s injury reports can still move it. Our pick is in the Week 9 preview, and the Seahawks odds page carries the line for every game and Seattle’s record against it, 2-4-2 through eight.

As with every game: Washington allows sports betting only in person at tribal casinos, and there is no legal online sportsbook in the state. We carry no sportsbook advertising, and the numbers are here because fans ask, not as advice.

At the stadium

Gate times for this game are not announced yet; the club usually posts its game-day guide a few days before. For this season’s 1:25 p.m. home games against the Chargers and the 49ers, the club’s game-day guides had the Ticketmaster Tailgate opening at 10 a.m., club and suite entrances at 10:30 a.m. and all gates at 11:30 a.m. Inactives come 90 minutes before kickoff, at 11:55 a.m. Theme nights and halftime acts for this game have not been announced. Early November in Seattle can be cold and wet; we will add the forecast in game week.

What to bring. One clear tote or clear backpack up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches (a backpack with no more than two pockets), a one-gallon clear freezer bag, or a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5. Walker’s Lockers near the north and south entrances hold anything else. Medical and diaper bags go through the VIP gates or the club and suite entrances for inspection.

Paying. Lumen Field is cashless. If you only have cash, the cash-to-card kiosks by Section 131 in Olympic Hall, Section 103 on the main level and in the Event Center load $1 to $500 with no fee, though kiosk cards do not work at the Amazon Just Walk Out stands.

Getting there

Take the train. Link’s 1 and 2 Lines stop at Stadium and Chinatown/International District stations, and Pioneer Square station is a short walk. Whether Sounder runs a game train for this one has not been announced; we will add it when it is.

Parking and tailgating. The North Lot and the Lumen Field Garage are sold by the season, so there is no single-game parking in either; the team points fans to SpotHero for the private lots around SoDo. Tailgating is not allowed anywhere on Lumen Field property. Our parking guide covers the lots and garages around the stadium.

Tickets

Season tickets are sold out. The club’s advice is to buy only through Seahawks.com or verified resale, and it names NFL Ticket Exchange, StubHub and SeatGeek. Our Cardinals ticket guide covers where to sit for this game and where to buy, and the seating chart guide explains the bowl. We do not show prices, because we have no live feed that keeps them true; check the seller for the all-in total.
