The Seattle Seahawks will kick off the NFL season on Wednesday September 9th,

breaking from their usual Thursday night opener.

Fans in Seattle face some scheduling headaches,

as the Mariners and Sounders also have games that night.

are expected to move those matches to avoid the clash.

NBC will broadcast the Seahawks game at 8.20 PM Eastern Time,

marking just the second Wednesday opener in the league 75 year.
