We know one of the upcoming preseason opponents for the San Francisco 49ers. In an exhibition matchup, they will face the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. According to The Athletic, the two teams will hold joint practices in the Las Vegas area leading to that game.

The trip will reunite the 49ers with their former quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, now with the Raiders.
The 49ers and Raiders last played each other during the preseason in 2021, following a decade-long drought going back to their previous matchup in 2011.
San Francisco beat Las Vegas 34-10 in that 2021 preseason matchup.
Last year, the 49ers held joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan, Minnesota, ahead of the team's preseason game at U.S. Bank Stadium. San Francisco won that game 17-7.
