For a third straight season, the Seattle Seahaawks will play in a nationally televised game.

Considered one of the favorites to advance to the Super Bowl in 2013, the Seahawks have four prime-time tilts, the team announced this afternoon.

Seattle played in three nationally televised games last year, defeating Green Bay and San Francisco at home, and losing to the 49ers on the road.

The Seahawks start the 2013 season at Carolina on Sept. 8, and open up at home a week later in a nationally televised, Sunday night contest against San Francisco on Sept. 15.

Along with the San Francisco game, the Seahawks have back-to-back, nationally televised contests, beginning with a Thursday night game against NFC West rival Arizona on the NFL Network down in the desert on Oct. 17, followed by an Oct. 28, Sunday night game at St. Louis.

Seattle also hosts New Orleans in a Monday night game on Dec. 2.

Seattle has a bye on Week 12, the latest the franchise has had a bye week.

The Seahawks also have four games in the Eastern time zone, and five 10 a.m. starts. Early morning games have been a struggle for Seattle in years past.

Here are the Seattle Seahawks 2013 opponents.

The NFL announced this morning that the Seattle Seahawks contest against NFC West rival San Francisco on Dec. 23 at CenturyLink Field has been flexed to the Sunday night game at 5:20 p.m. on NBC.

The game originally was scheduled for a 1:25 start on Fox. The game has some appeal for a national audience because it could help decide the NFC West, with San Francisco at 9-3-1 travelling to New England on Sunday, and the Seahawks at 8-5 are 1 ½ games back playing Buffalo in Toronto.

The Seahawks last were flexed into the Sunday night game at the end of the 2010 season at home against St. Louis, a 16-6 win that earned Seattle an NFC West title.

The NFL announced the regular season schedule this afternoon, which you can view here.

For a second straight season the Seattle Seahawks received a nationally televised, regular season game.

New Seattle quarterback Matt Flynn will get a chance to play his old team, the Green Bay Packers, on Monday Night Football at CenturyLink Field on Sept. 24.

The Seahawks also have a Thursday night road game at San Francisco on the NFL Network on Oct. 18, and an international matchup as Seattle takes on Buffalo in Toronto, Canada on Dec. 16, the club’s first regular season game outside the United States.

The Seahawks had no scheduled nationally televised games in 2009 and 2010, and just two in 2008, Mike Holmgren’s last as head coach in Seattle – a Thanksgiving Day game in Dallas and a Sunday night tilt in Tampa.

The Seahawks regular season finale of the 2010 season against St. Louis was flexed into the schedule for a national audience on NBC with the NFC West title on the line, a game Seattle won 16-6.
