The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks will play for the second time in 14 days on Saturday, while the Chicago Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in the NFL divisional round, the league announced Sunday evening.

While the time slots and network designations for next weekend’s action have not yet been announced, the league announced that the Seahawks, the top seed in the NFC, will host the sixth-seeded 49ers and the AFC’s sixth-seeded Buffalo Bills will play at the No. 1 seed Broncos in Denver on Saturday.

The second-seeded Bears will host the No. 5 seed Rams in the other NFC divisional game and the No. 2 seed New England Patriots will host the winner of Monday night’s Pittsburgh-Houston matchup in the other AFC divisional game on Sunday.

Saturday’s games will be played at 4:30 and 8 p.m. ET while Sunday’s slate is scheduled for 3 and 6:30 p.m. ET.

The Seahawks and 49ers split their regular-season series, with Seattle winning in Week 18 to clinch the NFC’s top seed. Seattle is looking to advance to its first NFC Championship Game since the 2014 season while San Francisco would make its fourth appearance in the last five seasons with a victory.

Buffalo, fresh off a win at Jacksonville, has its eyes set on its second straight AFC Championship Game appearance and is two wins away from its first Super Bowl appearance since 1993. Denver is looking to make its first conference championship game since the last time it won a Super Bowl in the 2015 season.

Chicago, which rallied to beat Green Bay for its first playoff win since January 2011, would advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in the same span if it can beat the Rams, who are looking for their first conference title game appearance since the 2021 season, the last time they won a Super Bowl.
