This announcement comes at a high-profile time for the 49ers organization. In addition to the ongoing 49ers football season, their home at Levi's Stadium will host both Super Bowl LX and six FIFA World Cup matches in 2026 - making Levi's Stadium the only venue in history to host both mega-events in a single calendar year.
"I'd like to welcome Pete, Devon, and the Briger family to the San Francisco 49ers," said Jed York, CEO of the San Francisco 49ers. "Alongside my family and our existing owner partners, we know the Briger family shares our unwavering commitment to the long-term success of this organization and creating unforgettable moments for our fans."
Pete Briger is Executive Chairman at Fortress Investment Group, where he serves on the firm's leadership committee and multiple investment committees. Based in Menlo Park, CA and an active philanthropist, Pete also serves on the boards of the UCSF Foundation and the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park.
"I'm honored that the Briger family is joining the 49ers ownership group. For my family—and millions of other fans—this iconic franchise represents far more than football; it reflects the legendary excellence and resilience of the Bay Area," said Pete Briger on behalf of the Briger family. "Under the leadership of Jed and his family, the 49ers have set a gold standard for integrity, innovation, and championship culture. We are thrilled to support both the team and the NFL in their roles as powerful forces for unity and impact."
Moving forward, Jed York and the York family will continue to retain control of the Club.
