The 49ers will finish last in the NFC West and will face the last-place teams from the NFC South and NFC East. That means the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Giants will be on their 2018 schedule.
San Francisco will also face each of the teams within its own division twice and play each member of the NFC North and AFC West.
The 2018 season will offer a lighter travel schedule for the typically travel-burdened 49ers. All but one of the East Coast teams on the schedule will travel to Levi's Stadium to face the 49ers. San Francisco will go to the Eastern Time Zone just once next season -- during a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 2018 schedule also features the first regular-season meeting between the 49ers and Oakland Raiders since the 2014 season and the last between the two Bay Area teams before the Raiders' move to Las Vagas.
Below is a breakdown of the 49ers' 2018 opponents. Dates and times for each game will be announced in April.
