The NFL will officially unveil its full 272-game schedule for the 2026 season tonight at 5:00 p.m. PT. However, as is often the case ahead of the announcement, several matchups have already leaked—including what appears to be the San Francisco 49ers' complete 18-week regular-season schedule.
The reported leaks come from several users on X—@OzzyNFL, @NerdingOnNFL, and @RCDiscussion—who have built a strong track record for uncovering schedule details before the NFL's official release. The trio collaborated to piece together the full slate.
Based on those leaks, along with games already confirmed by the NFL, the 49ers are expected to open the season with four home games in their first six weeks, then close the year with four road contests over the final six weeks.
The reported schedule also features five prime-time matchups, highlighted by two international contests: the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, and a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Mexico City.
Of course, none of the leaked information is official until the NFL formally announces the schedule tonight, so there is no guarantee of its accuracy.
