The 49ers open the 2023 preseason by traveling to Allegiant Stadium to take on the Las Vegas Raiders. It marks the 41st preseason meeting between the two clubs and the first meeting since 2021. The 49ers lead the all-time preseason series 21-19.
San Francisco returns multiple key starters from last season's roster that reached the NFC Championship, including All-Pros S Talanoa Hufanga, LB Fred Warner, and T Trent Williams, along with Pro Bowlers TE George Kittle and FB Kyle Juszczyk. The NFL's number one overall defense in 2022 looks to remain dominant with the addition of DL Javon Hargrave and CB Isaiah Oliver, while WR Brandon Aiyuk, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel aim to anchor the 49ers offense.
Through the 2023 NFL Draft, the Niners brought in S Ji'Ayir Brown, K Jake Moody, TE Cameron Latu, CB Darrell Luter Jr., DL Robert Beal Jr., LB Dee Winters, TE Brayden Willis, WR Ronnie Bell, and LB Jalen Graham.
