Three things to know:
- Week 1 is free in the Bay Area. Netflix has the Melbourne game exclusively nationwide, but league simulcast rules put it on NBC Bay Area for local viewers, and CBS Los Angeles for Rams fans. No subscription needed inside either market. Noah Eagle calls it with Luke Kuechly on analysis.
- Fifteen of the 17 games should be free over the air locally. FOX, CBS and NBC carry 13 outright. Week 6 is on ESPN and simulcast on ABC, which means KGO 7, and Amazon simulcasts its Thursday night games on a local station in both teams’ markets, covering Week 15.
- Flex scheduling starts in Week 5. The NFL can flex a Sunday night game up to twice between Weeks 5 and 10 and in any week from 11 to 17, and Monday night in any week from 12 to 17. The December Sunday afternoon dates are the likeliest to move.
KNBR 680 AM and 104.5 FM is the flagship radio home, with KSAN 107.7 FM and KSFO 810 AM also carrying games. Out of market fans can pick up the Sunday afternoon FOX and CBS games through NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube.
49ers Kickoff Times in Every Time Zone
| Eastern | Central | Mountain | Pacific (San Francisco) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00 PM | 12:00 PM | 11:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| 4:05 PM | 3:05 PM | 2:05 PM | 1:05 PM |
| 4:25 PM | 3:25 PM | 2:25 PM | 1:25 PM |
| 8:15 PM | 7:15 PM | 6:15 PM | 5:15 PM |
| 8:20 PM | 7:20 PM | 6:20 PM | 5:20 PM |
| 8:35 PM | 7:35 PM | 6:35 PM | 5:35 PM |
Seven of the 17 games fall outside the Pacific zone, and only two are 10:00 AM Pacific starts, at Atlanta in Week 7 and at the Giants in Week 13. Mexico City runs on Central time and does not change clocks in November, so Week 11 costs altitude rather than sleep. Arizona skips daylight saving, which only matters for the January finale, when State Farm Stadium sits an hour ahead of the Bay Area.

Melbourne and Mexico City: Two Countries in One Season
Nine games are played abroad in 2026. The 49ers appear in two of them, in different countries, which no other club does.
Week 1, Melbourne Cricket Ground. The first regular season NFL game in Australia, at a 100,000 seat cricket stadium bigger than any NFL building. It counts as a road game because the Los Angeles Rams are the designated home team, which is why San Francisco still keeps nine home dates. Melbourne is 17 hours ahead, so Thursday evening here is Friday at 10:35 AM at the ground.
Week 11, Estadio Banorte. San Francisco is the home team against the Minnesota Vikings at the renamed Estadio Azteca, 7,200 feet up. That is about 1,900 feet higher than Denver and the highest ground in the league. Hosting it costs a Levi’s Stadium date, so nine home games become eight in Santa Clara. Every fixture abroad is on our NFL international games page.
When is the 49ers Bye Week in 2026?
Week 8, the weekend of November 1. Seven games come before it and ten after. League wide, byes run from Week 5 to Week 14, with none in Week 12 because of Thanksgiving.
The placement is kind. San Francisco flies to Atlanta for a 10:00 AM Pacific kickoff in Week 7, rests, then hosts Las Vegas. A second breather sits in December, where the Week 15 Thursday game at the Chargers is followed by ten days before Kansas City. Compare every club on our NFL bye weeks page.
49ers 2026 Roster, Coaches and Injuries
- Kyle Shanahan begins his tenth season, the longest run by any 49ers coach since Bill Walsh. Klay Kubiak stays at offensive coordinator. Raheem Morris is the new defensive coordinator after two years as head coach in Atlanta, with Matt Eberflus as assistant head coach for defense and Brant Boyer on special teams.
- Brock Purdy starts at quarterback with Mac Jones behind him. Toe and shoulder injuries cost Purdy eight games last season, but he returned in Week 11 and led six straight wins, finishing with 2,167 yards and 20 touchdowns in nine starts.
- George Kittle and Nick Bosa both opened the year on the active roster, the two comebacks that mattered most. Kittle ruptured an Achilles in January and Bosa tore an ACL last season. Christian McCaffrey, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw and Trent Williams are all available.
- The receiver room took the hits instead. Ricky Pearsall is out for the season after PCL surgery, Christian Kirk is on injured reserve with a calf problem, and Brandon Aiyuk remains on the reserve list without reporting. That leaves Mike Evans, signed for three years and 60.4 million dollars, and Deebo Samuel Sr., back on a one year deal, carrying the position.
- Two players start on the physically unable to perform list and must miss at least four games: defensive lineman Mykel Williams and running back Isaac Guerendo. San Francisco set its roster at 52 on August 30.
The NFC West was the league’s toughest room last year. Seattle won it at 14-3 and went on to win Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, while San Francisco and the Rams both finished 12-5 and took wild card spots. All three meet twice again this season, starting in Melbourne.
How to Get San Francisco 49ers Tickets
Home tickets run through the official 49ers ticket page, which routes single game sales to Ticketmaster. Verified resale is on StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats, and the Levi’s Stadium box office sells on game days.
Three home dates price highest: Washington on Monday night in Week 6, the Rams in Week 14 and the Sunday night meeting with Philadelphia in Week 17. Denver in Week 4 is the value pick. Melbourne and Mexico City sell through the league’s On Location packages, and Week 18 at Arizona is worth waiting on until the NFL sets the day.

How can I watch the 49ers Melbourne game for free?

Yes. San Francisco hosts the Minnesota Vikings at Estadio Banorte in Mexico City on Sunday, November 22, 2026 at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. The 49ers are the designated home team, so it costs them a Levi’s Stadium date and leaves eight home games in Santa Clara out of nine.

Who is the San Francisco 49ers quarterback in 2026?
Brock Purdy, with Mac Jones as the backup. Toe and shoulder injuries cost Purdy eight games in 2025, but he returned in Week 11 and led San Francisco to six consecutive wins and a 12-5 finish, throwing for 2,167 yards and 20 touchdowns in nine starts. Kyle Shanahan enters his tenth season as head coach, with Klay Kubiak calling the offense and Raheem Morris new as defensive coordinator.

Five, following the 1981, 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994 seasons, from eight Super Bowl appearances. Only Pittsburgh and New England have won more. San Francisco has not lifted the trophy since Super Bowl XXIX, and Levi’s Stadium hosted Super Bowl LX in February 2026, won by Seattle over New England.
