On Wednesday, the National Football League announced that the San Francisco 49ers will be one of the participating teams for the upcoming 2026 NFL Mexico City game.
The game in Mexico will be played at the iconic Estadio Banorte as part of a multi-year commitment to playing games in Mexico City in 2026, 2027 and 2028.
San Francisco’s opponent, along with the game date and kickoff time, will be announced when the full 2026 NFL schedule is revealed this spring.
The 49ers are one of 10 teams that hold marketing rights in Mexico as part of the league’s Global Markets Program, an initiative that awards NFL clubs international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the U.S., through fan engagement, events and commercial opportunities.
The game in Mexico will be one of a record nine international games in 2026 across four continents, seven countries and eight stadiums.
