The 2023 NFL playoff schedule starts with a pair of games Saturday. The San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks to start Wild-Card Weekend, followed by a primetime matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers.

The 49ers and Seahawks are scheduled to start their wild-card game at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox, while Los Angeles visits Jacksonville for an 8:15 p.m. ET start on NBC. Viewers can watch live streams of the games on the FOX and NBC websites. Peacock will also broadcast the Saturday night game.

It marks the fourth time in five weeks that there will be Saturday NFL action. Exactly one week before hosting the Chargers, the Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night to clinch the AFC South title.

Los Angeles had one more regular-season win than Jacksonville. The Jaguars are at home because they are division champions and the Chargers earned the AFC's first wild-card berth. The Kansas City Chiefs finished four games ahead of Los Angeles in the AFC West.

Seattle didn't punch its ticket to the playoffs until the very last game of the regular season. The Seahawks clinched the final NFC wild-card spot when the Detroit Lions beat the Green Bay Packers on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 18.

The 49ers finished four games ahead of the Seahawks to win the NFC West. San Francisco reached last year's NFC Championship Game for its second trip to the conference title game in three years. The 49ers are the only team playing on Saturday that was part of the playoffs a season ago.

The Jaguars are playing their first playoff game since the 2017 season when Jacksonville nearly made it to the AFC Championship Game. The New England Patriots erased a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to keep the Jaguars out of the Super Bowl, where Jacksonville would've met Doug Pederson and the Philadelphia Eagles. Pederson is currently in his first season as Jacksonville's head coach.

The Chargers last won a playoff game four years ago. Jacksonville and Los Angeles are both looking for their first Super Bowl titles in franchise history.

The Seahawks missed the playoffs last year for just the second time in 10 seasons.
