Save room for one last Thanksgiving treat as the NFL is serving up an NFC West desert to cap off its Thanksgiving meal of games as the San Francisco 49ers travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Seahawks in a prime-time showdown that could have a telling impact on the division.
Both the 49ers and Seahawks have had almost an identical start to the 2023 NFL season. After Sunday's 27-14 win over the Buccaneers, San Francisco (7-3) are back in the driver’s seat in the NFC West and is starting to look like the buzzsaw that started the season 5–0 rather than the team that lost three consecutive games towards the end of October.
On the other hand, it was a frustrating day at SoFi Stadium on Sunday for the Seahawks (6-4), as they led the majority of the game against the Rams, only to lose 17-16 in the dying embers, but they won two of their last three games prior to that.
On Thanksgiving Day, these two teams will go head-to-head at Lumen Field to determine the leader of the NFC West for the time being.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the match, including what TV channel to watch it on, streaming details, and more.

Seahawks & 49ers rosters & injury reports
Seattle Seahawks team news
The Seahawks enter the turkey day clash with a lengthy injury list. Quarterback Geno Smith's status is up in the air after suffering a contusion to the triceps on his throwing arm, though the team hopes he will play. They are expected to be without their leading rusher Kenneth Walker III (oblique) against one of the league’s top run defenses. The status of safety Jamal Adams is also uncertain and will likely be a game decision.

San Francisco 49ers team news
The 49ers' star quarterback Brock Purdy rediscovered his early season form against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 24-17 victory on Sunday, but the win came at a cost. All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga tore his ACL in the game and is out for the remainder of the season.
Things could get better for 49ers this week if they can get starting guard Aaron Banks back in the lineup after the starter has missed the last two games. But even in his absence, backup Jon Feliciano has been deemed positive both in the pass and run game.
