If accurate, this would mark the fourth time in the past five seasons that the 49ers begin their schedule on the road. It would also be their first Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks since 2011, and their first opener against an NFC West opponent since 2020.
The 49ers are coming off a disappointing 6-11 season, finishing last in the NFC West and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The Seahawks, meanwhile, ended 2024 with a 10-7 record, finishing second in the division behind the Los Angeles Rams.
We'll find out on Wednesday if Mahler's report proves accurate when the league's official schedule is revealed.
