It's time for Thursday Night Football and we're already at Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season. The next game sees the San Francisco 49ers visit the Seattle Seahawks.

The 49ers started the season as one of the Super Bowl favorites though it's been a tricky start to their Quest for Six. They've been hit by injuries and they're yet to win on the road. The Seahawks are on a two week losing streak and have conceded a grand total of 71 points across those two games. Can the Seahawks' defence hold back the 49ers? Or will the 49ers get their first win on the road this season?

The good news for football fans is you can watch all the action without spending a dime. So if you want to watch the San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks for free, here's all the information you need.
