The 49ers opened with a 19-13 home loss to Tennessee. They followed with a 41-17 win at the Chargers and closed with an 18-12 victory at Las Vegas.

How the 2026 San Francisco 49ers Schedule Unfolds
The 49ers open with an international game against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia.
They then host the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Denver Broncos before traveling to Seattle. A Monday night home contest against Washington follows, then a road trip to Atlanta.
The bye arrives on November 1. After the break San Francisco hosts Las Vegas, visits Dallas, and plays an international game against Minnesota in Mexico City.
A home rematch with Seattle comes next, followed by a road game at the New York Giants and a home contest against the Rams. A Thursday night road game at the Chargers sits in mid-December, then a late-afternoon contest at Kansas City.
The schedule closes with a Sunday night home date against Philadelphia and a road finale at Arizona (still TBA and possibly flexed).
Games That Stand Out on the 49ers Schedule 2026
Several dates already stand out.
The international opener against the Rams in Melbourne and the Mexico City game against Minnesota are major calendar highlights. The Monday night home date against Washington and the Thursday night trip to the Chargers add heavy primetime exposure.
The two meetings with the Rams, the two against Arizona, and the two against Seattle will heavily influence the NFC West race. High-profile home games against Denver and Philadelphia, plus the late stretch, create further intrigue.
