49ers-Seahawks Game Draws 26.7 Million Viewers in Week 5
The NFL's Week 5 late-afternoon game featuring the 49ers and Seahawks averaged 26.697 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. This time slot continues to attract the largest audiences in the league.
The game, which began at 4:25 p.m. ET, followed an overtime matchup between the Giants and Commanders. Many viewers experienced issues as the 49ers-Seahawks game started while the earlier game was still in progress, leading to complaints from Sunday Ticket customers who could not access the game on their local Fox channel.
This Week 5 window was the only one during the Thursday or Sunday games to surpass 20 million viewers. Audience figures for the Bills-Rams game on ESPN have yet to be released.
