{{Main|49ers–Seahawks rivalry}}
During the 2010s, the [[Seattle Seahawks]] quickly grew an intense rivalry with 49ers. The two teams began an exchange of heated regular season matchups following the NFL's realignment in 2002 that relocated both teams into the same division. Prior to 2002, the teams played each other almost every season during the pre-season, but only every three years during the regular season as part of the league scheduling algorithm. The rivalry began to intensify after the 49ers hired [[Jim Harbaugh]] out of [[Stanford University|Stanford]] in 2011, as he and Seahawks and former [[University of Southern California|USC]] head coach [[Pete Carroll]] had been involved in a lengthy feud. The matchups regularly grew in intensity through the 2010s, culminating in the two teams meeting in the 2013 NFC Championship which saw Seattle advance and ultimately on to win [[Super Bowl XLVIII]].<ref name="s703">{{cite web | title=Richard Sherman reflects on 10th anniversary of iconic 'Crabtree' postgame interview | work=FOX Sports | date=2024-01-25 | url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/richard-sherman-reflects-on-10th-anniversary-of-iconic-crabtree-postgame-interview | access-date=2024-08-30}}</ref> As of the 2023 season, the Seahawks lead the all-time series 31–23.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=sfo&tm2=sea&yr=all |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref>
