{{Main|49ers–Seahawks rivalry}}

From 2011 to 2014, the Seahawks and the [[San Francisco 49ers]] emerged as two of the best teams in the NFC, and developed a rivalry as a result. The 49ers head coach at the time, [[Jim Harbaugh]], had a contentious history with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll due to Harbaugh's previous job as coach at [[Stanford Cardinal football|Stanford]] against Carroll's [[USC Trojans football|USC Trojans.]] Harbaugh's 49ers won the first three head-to-head contests but lost Week 16 of 2012. Both teams reached the playoffs that year, however the 49ers reached [[Super Bowl XLVII]], which they lost. In 2013, the Seahawks won in a Week 2 contest, but the 49ers would triumph in Week 14. The Seahawks would beat the 49ers in the 2013 season NFC Championship Game 23–17 in a controversial win. The Seahawks went on to win the next 10 matchups, sweeping the regular season series against the 49ers from 2014 to 2018. After splitting games in 2018 and 2019, the 49ers won 6 straight against the Seahawks, including the 2022 wild card game. The Seahawks won the second matchup of 2024 to end the streak.

As of the end of the 2024 season, the Seahawks lead the series 31–23.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/seattle-seahawks/teamvsteam?opp=27|title=Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers Results &#124; The Football Database|website=FootballDB.com|access-date=September 5, 2019|archive-date=March 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308160637/https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/seattle-seahawks/teamvsteam?opp=27|url-status=live}}</ref>
