The NFL schedule won't be released until mid-May. There are reports from 2025 that the 49ers may play one of their home games in Mexico City. The NFL will also play its first-ever game in Rio de Janeiro in 2026. It is unlikely the 49ers will play there instead of Mexico City, but it's a possibility. The NFL will announce the international games in early 2026.
