Patriots vs Seahawks

Patriots vs Seahawks is today (Sunday, Sept 20) and scheduled to start at 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT. It's on NBC as part of week 1 of Sunday Night Football.

It's time for the Patriots vs Seahawks live stream that will give football fans to one of the most anticipated week 2 matchups of this still-young NFL season. Both of these top teams are entering the second week 1-0, and will look to start an undefeated streak as the season heats up.

Led by quarterback Cam Newton, the new-look Patriots made fairly easy work of the Miami Dolphins in week one. But Cam and crew face a much tougher challenge against the 1-0 Seattle Seahawks, who are coming off of a big victory against the Atlanta Falcons that saw QB Russell Wilson light the arena up with 4 touchdown passes.

Still, we don't expect this matchup to be one-sided. The Patriots have emerged as the top rushing team in the NFL thanks to the efforts of Sony Michel and James White, with the team leading the league in attempts, yards and touchdowns. But that productive offense will have some opposition from a dynamic Seahawks defense, who just gained Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams from the New York Jets. 

Eager to see this hotly anticipated Sunday Night Football matchup? Here's everything you need to know to watch the Patriots vs Seahawks livestream.

How to watch Patriots vs Seahawks live streams with a VPN

Football fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you've been hit by a dreaded local blackout — and you can't watch the Patriots vs Seahawks live stream, you don't have to miss the game. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for. 

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.
