On Monday, the NFL announced the kickoff times for the entire slate of Sunday matchups, including 49ers-Cardinals. San Francisco's regular-season finale kicks off at 1:25 p.m. PT from Levi's Stadium. FOX will broadcast the game.
It's worth noting that the Philadelphia Eagles will kick off against the New York Giants simultaneously as 49ers-Cardinals, so the 49ers won't know if they can grab the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture before they play on Sunday. An Eagles loss and 49ers win would give the latter the top spot in the playoff standings and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
The regular season will conclude with Game No. 272, as the Detroit Lions visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. The Week 18 Baltimore-Cincinnati game will be played on Sunday at either 10 a.m. PT or 1:25 a.m. PT, depending on the result of Monday night's Buffalo-Cincinnati game. If Buffalo wins, the game will be played at 1:25 p.m. PT. If Cincinnati wins, it will be played at 10 a.m. PT.
