Key dates to know
- Regular season: The 49ers' 18-week regular season runs from early September through early January each year.
- NFC West showdowns: San Francisco plays the Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals twice each season, with division seeding often on the line down the stretch.
- Playoffs: Mid-January into February, with the Super Bowl as the season finale — familiar territory for a franchise with five Lombardi Trophies.
The 49ers storyline: a Bay Area dynasty and a fierce NFC West rivalry
San Francisco's five Super Bowl championships came in a run from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s, built around Bill Walsh's West Coast offense and quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing to Jerry Rice, the NFL's all-time leading receiver. That legacy is part of why the 49ers carry one of the league's most recognizable brands into every matchup. Today, San Francisco's most heated modern rivalry runs through the NFC West against the Seattle Seahawks, division opponents since Seattle moved into the NFC West in 2002 — a series that has included high-stakes battles for division titles and a memorable NFC Championship Game matchup between the two clubs. The Rams and Cardinals round out a division where every game matters for playoff positioning.
