NFC Championship Game Radio Stations
Westwood One was the national radio broadcaster for the 2026 NFC Championship between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks; listeners could also choose local team broadcasts or SiriusXM. That game has already been played, and as of October 28, 2026, the teams, local affiliates, and SiriusXM channels for the January 2027 NFC Championship have not been set. Use the options below when looking for the Rams–Seahawks broadcast.
Which NFC Championship Game This Applies To
The NFC Championship is played each January, so “this year” can mean either the championship played earlier in the calendar year or the next one coming up.
The confirmed radio information in this guide is for the 2026 game between the Rams and Seahawks. Westwood One provided the nationwide broadcast, while Seattle- and Los Angeles-area stations carried their respective team calls. SiriusXM offered separate feeds for both teams, a national call, and Spanish-language coverage.
For the next NFC Championship, wait until the matchup is known. Satellite channel assignments are event-specific.
How to Find the NFC Championship Radio Broadcast
| Listening Route | What to Tune or Select | Best Choice For |
|---|---|---|
| National terrestrial radio | A local Westwood One affiliate | A neutral national broadcast outside either team’s home market |
| Seattle-area Seahawks call | KIRO – 710 ESPN Seattle on 710 AM or 97.3 FM | Seahawks-focused play-by-play and analysis |
| Los Angeles-area Rams call | 710 AM or 93.1 FM | Rams-focused play-by-play and analysis |
| SiriusXM national call | Channel 88 | National coverage on satellite radio or the app |
| SiriusXM Rams call | Channel 226 | Rams broadcast |
| SiriusXM Seahawks call | Channel 228 | Seahawks broadcast |
| SiriusXM Spanish-language call | Channel 227 | NFL en Español coverage |
Step 1: Decide Which Type of Call You Want
- Choose a team broadcast if you want the announcers, sideline reports, and analysis aimed at the Rams or Seahawks.
- Choose the national feed if you prefer a neutral broadcast crew.
- Choose Spanish-language coverage if that is your preferred way to follow the game.
On SiriusXM, you do not have to settle for whichever team feed appears first. The service offered home-team, away-team, national, and Spanish-language options.
Step 2: Tune a Local Station or Find a National Affiliate
- In the Seattle market, tune 710 AM or 97.3 FM for the Seahawks call.
- In the Los Angeles market, tune 710 AM or 93.1 FM for the Rams call.
- Outside those markets, look for a local station carrying the national Westwood One broadcast.
Westwood One distributed its NFL playoff coverage through approximately 500 radio stations nationwide. A local sports, news, or talk station may carry the game even if it is not a team flagship station.
A team’s game-day radio listing identifies the local outlet for that matchup, because affiliates can change from one game or season to another.
Step 3: Select the SiriusXM Feed
- On a SiriusXM radio, open the channel shown for the call you want.
- For the 2026 game, select Channel 88 for the national broadcast, Channel 226 for the Rams, Channel 228 for the Seahawks, or Channel 227 for Spanish-language coverage.
- On a phone, tablet, or connected device, open the SiriusXM app and select the corresponding live game feed.
- Confirm the current event assignment on SiriusXM before listening, since future games can use different channel placements or app labels.
SiriusXM made the live game available both on compatible satellite radios and through its app on smart devices.
Step 4: Confirm You Have the Live Game Feed
- Listen for the announcers to identify the Rams and Seahawks during the pregame coverage.
- Check whether the announcers are using the team perspective you intended.
- If you hear unrelated programming, another game, or a studio show, switch to the listed affiliate or SiriusXM feed for the broadcast you chose.
- Once the matchup and broadcast crew match your choice, leave the radio or stream on that feed through kickoff.
Local Radio Calls in Seattle and Los Angeles
The station call letters and market matter.
Seattle’s 710 AM entry is KIRO – 710 ESPN Seattle. Los Angeles also has a distinct station identified as KSPN – ESPN Radio 710 AM, so entering “710” into a search or telling someone to tune “710 AM” without naming the city can lead to the wrong station.
Los Angeles listeners had the Rams broadcast on 710 AM and 93.1 FM.
These local outlets are useful when you want the team’s regular radio crew. They are not a reliable nationwide answer, however: reception, station programming, and team affiliations depend on the market and the specific game.
Choosing a National, Team, or Spanish-Language Call
A national call is the simplest choice when you are outside the competing teams’ markets or do not have a preference for either club.
A team call is better when you want familiar voices, team-specific injury updates, and analysis centered on one sideline. For the 2026 game, SiriusXM separated the Rams and Seahawks broadcasts rather than treating one local call as the only option.
Spanish-language coverage is a separate broadcast choice, not merely a translated station description.
Friends supporting different teams can settle on a single feed before the game begins. If you are following one team closely, select that team’s feed before the game begins so you do not miss the opening call while switching audio sources.
Confirming the Next NFC Championship Broadcast
A short pregame check prevents most mix-ups:
- Confirm that the listing names the correct NFC Championship matchup.
- Confirm whether the station is carrying the national call or a team broadcast.
- On SiriusXM, select the feed labeled for the national, home-team, away-team, or Spanish-language broadcast.
- Verify the announcers identify the correct teams before kickoff.
