It’ll be a familiar day and time for the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> and Seattle Seahawks<\/a> when they square off at Lumen Field in the divisional round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The NFL on Monday announced the 49ers-Seahawks showdown will take place at 5:00pm Pacific Time on Saturday. It’s the exact same window they played in in Week 18 when Seattle throttled the 49ers 13-3 at Levi’s Stadium.<\/p>\n

It’s also a familiar occurrence for the 49ers who’ll once again be on a short week. They played Sunday in Philadelphia and now turnaround to play Saturday night. That’s reminiscent of their turnaround from Week 17 to 18 when they hosted the Chicago Bears<\/a> on Sunday night and then hosted the Seahawks the following week on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full divisional playoff schedule:<\/p>\n

Saturday, Buffalo Bills<\/a> at Denver Broncos<\/a>, 1:30pm PT (CBS, Paramount+)Saturday, San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks, 5:00pm PT (Fox, Fox One)Sunday, Houston Texans<\/a> at New England Patriots, 12:00pm PT (ESPN, ABC, ESPN App)Sunday, Los Angeles Rams<\/a> at Chicago Bears, 3:30pm PT (NBC, Peacock)Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n

If the 49ers lose, their season is over.<\/p>\n
