Quick Tips for Fans

Now that you have the dates, here are a few pointers to make sure you don’t miss a moment.

TV & Streaming

• Prime‑time games (Thursdays, Sundays after 8 PM PT) are typically on Fox or Amazon Prime Video. Check your provider’s schedule a week in advance.
• Local broadcasts for home games air on KTVU (Channel 2) and KPIX (Channel 5).

Travel Plans

• For West Coast road trips (Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego), consider flying into the nearest major airport and using rideshare services for the last mile.
• East Coast trips (New York, Boston, Washington) are best tackled with a combination of flight and commuter rail to avoid traffic snarls.

Game‑Day Essentials

• Arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff for parking and security checks.
• Bring a portable charger—Levi’s Stadium’s Wi‑Fi can be spotty when the crowd peaks.
• Check the weather forecast; Bay Area fog can roll in quickly, especially for night games.

With the schedule laid out, you can now mark your calendar, book those tickets, and get ready for a season that promises both drama and delight. The 49ers have a full slate of challenges ahead, but for fans, it’s another chance to rally behind the red and gold. See you at the game!
