This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but Levi's Stadium will not host fans for Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN.
The stadium didn't host fans for the team's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals on September 13 due to continued concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. That didn't rule out fans attending future games, though.
The 49ers will continue to have a dialogue with state and Santa Clara County officials, and in accordance with public health guidelines, to determine when fans can return to Levi's Stadium.
In a semi-related note and not a surprise: #49ers will not have fans at Sunday night's game against the Eagles. Team plans to continue working with local health and government to determine when fans might be able to return.

The 49ers begin a three-game home stint that starts with this weekend's game against the Eagles and is followed by matchups against the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams.
"We know that 2020 has already been extremely challenging, and we thank you for your patience as we navigate this pandemic together," the 49ers said via a statement in August.
The 49ers also announced that Levi's Stadium would become a voting center for the November 3 election as part of the organization's NFL Votes initiative to drive voter awareness and turnout.
"Through the support of each of the partners, Levi's Stadium will fill a need for another in-person voting center where any resident of Santa Clara County can vote in-person or deposit their ballot," wrote the 49ers in a statement. "The SAP Tower atrium within Levi's Stadium will be open for early voting beginning on October 31st (9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) and through Election Day on November 3rd (7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.). Featuring free parking at the Great America parking lot adjacent to the stadium, Levi's Stadium previously served as a voting center for the California primary in March. Levi's Stadium will be one of 100 voting centers in Santa Clara County, along with 98 drop box locations."
