Complete 2024 San Francisco 49ers Schedule Revealed

The NFL revealed its 272-game 2024 regular-season schedule on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. PT. NFL Kickoff Weekend will commence on Thursday, September 5. The season will culminate with Super Bowl 59 on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The San Francisco 49ers open their regular season at home against the New York Jets on "Monday Night Football." Their first road game comes during Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, with the team slated to participate in six prime-time matchups this year.

For the third consecutive season, the Niners' bye week will take place during Week 9.

San Francisco's opponents combined for a 146-143 record last season. The .505 winning percentage by opponents ties for the 12th toughest strength of schedule in the NFL, based on last year's results. That's a drop from last season's .514 SOS, which was the 15th toughest in the NFL.

Below is the complete 2024 49ers schedule, which you can also find on our official schedule page.
