While Schultz notes an October 25 game date, that would fall on a Friday. He likely meant Sunday, October 20.
In Super Bowl 58, held at Allegiant Stadium, the Chiefs edged past the 49ers with a 25-22 victory in overtime, thwarting the Bay Area team's championship hopes.
The complete 2024 NFL schedule is set to be unveiled tomorrow at 5 p.m. PT. It is common for select games to be revealed before the official unveiling. We already know that the 49ers will open the regular season with a "Monday Night Football" showdown against the New York Jets on September 9, also hosted at Levi's Stadium.
