San Francisco’s 2026 season is shaping up to be defined by miles as much as matchups. The league officially announced that the 49ers will serve as the home team for the 2026 NFL game in Mexico City, adding another international destination to an already demanding calendar. The opponent and full game details will be revealed when the complete 2026 schedule is released this spring. That announcement builds on what was previously confirmed earlier this offseason, as San Francisco is set to face the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, in the first NFL regular season game ever played in the city. The Rams will be designated as the home team, with the 49ers traveling overseas for a divisional showdown on a historic stage. And the travel does not stop there. The 49ers are also scheduled for two separate road trips to the East Coast to face the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants, adding significant cross country movement within the United States. Between Mexico City, Melbourne, and multiple coast to coast flights, San Francisco could be among the most traveled teams in a single season next year. The 2026 campaign may test not only execution on the field, but endurance across time zones and continents. 🌎✈️🏈
