As customary, six of the 49ers’ 17 games will come against NFC West teams, one apiece at home and on the road.
The NFC West’s intraconference rotation features the NFC East. The 49ers will play the Eagles and Commanders at home, and Cowboys and Giants on the road.
The NFC West’s interconference rotation features the AFC West. The Rams will play the Broncos and Raiders at home, and the Chiefs and Chargers on the road.
The remaining games were determined by their divisional finish (third) last year. They’ll play other teams that finished third: Vikings (NFC North), Falcons (NFC South), and Dolphins (AFC East). Because it’s the NFC’s turn for nine home games — each NFC team has nine home games in even-numbered seasons — the 49ers game against the Dolphins is at home.
