Half of the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers' home games at Levi's Stadium are prime-time matchups. Their lone prime-time road game comes during Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Colleen Wolfe on NFL Network caught up with John Lynch shortly after the 2020 regular-season schedule was revealed, and asked what the general manager thought of the five total prime-time matchups, which is tied for the most in the league.
"Levi's, over the last couple of years, has really become a home-field advantage for us," Lynch said, "and I think, last year, really came into its own as a stadium, where we truly do have that home-field advantage. Our fans are tremendous, The Faithful, and our guys love playing in front of the world. We'll have that opportunity, ample time, to also be able to do that at home, and that's always fun."
"If it's after Week 4, who knows what team you're going to have."

San Francisco's prime-time matchups are a Week 4 game hosting the Philadelphia Eagles, Week 6 hosting the Los Angeles Rams, Week 9 hosting the Green Bay Packers, Week 13 hosting the Buffalo Bills, and then Week 15 at Dallas. That last one will be San Francisco's and Dallas' first prime-time meeting since 1990.
The 49ers went 5-1 in prime-time games last season. They are scheduled to host the Rams in prime-time for the second-consecutive season. The Niners beat the Rams 34-31 at Levi's Stadium on Saturday Night Football last season in Week 16.
