Pro and con of #49ers schedule: A home-friendly finish: They play 4 of final 6 and 3 of final 4 at home. A rough travel middle: They play 4 of 5 on the road starting in Week 5, including long trips to Tampa, Houston, NYG. Could see a week long stay between Houston/NY.

Despite last year's finish and a less than enticing schedule, the #49ers still got five primetime games this year (as of now). They are: Week 5 at Rams (TNF) Week 7 vs. Falcons (SNF) Week 12 vs. Panthers (MNF) Week 16 at Colts (MNF) Week 17 vs. Bears (SNF)

#49ers will open the preseason against Denver the week of Aug. 7. They're expected to host some joint practices in Santa Clara leading up to that exhibition contest. They play at Las Vegas in preseason Week 2 and host the Chargers in preseason Week 3.

#49ers won’t have their bye until Week 14, which is the latest possible week for a bye in the league. They will, however, have “mini bye” after TNF game in Week 5 against Rams.

The #49ers 2025 schedule: Week 1: Sept. 7 at Seattle Seahawks Week 2: Sept. 14 at New Orleans Saints Week 3: Sept. 21 vs. Arizona Cardinals Week 4: Sept. 28 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Week 5: Oct. 2 at Los Angeles Rams (TNF) Week 6: Oct. 12 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 7: Oct.

Along with these, the team with the "easiest" schedule going into the season based on previous year's record very rarely ends with that. It did happen recently as the 2023 Falcons had the easiest going in and tied for easiest at the end. They went 7-10. On the extreme other

Using last year's final records, #49ers have the "easiest" schedule in the NFL in 2025 (opponents had a .415 winning %). In fact, there hasn't been a team with a worse SOS from the previous season since the 2015 Falcons (.410). History says it might not matter. The past 11

No surprise that #49ers will not play a game outside the US this year. Would expect them back in Mexico City in 2026 or 2027, however.

What a crazy coincidence that the team that traded Luka and has been pilloried for it for months won the draft lottery with a 1.8% chance. Just pure happenstance, for sure.

A frontcourt of Cooper Flagg, Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively going to be insane defensively if/when healthy, though.

#49ers have now signed 7th round QB Kurtis Rourke to his rookie 4-year deal. Rourke is the 8th member of the team's 11-man class to sign. Only DE Mykel Williams, DT Alfred Collins and DT C.J. West remain.

These rookie minicamp rosters are somewhat fluid. Did not see Pline or Nugent on the practice field. Possible I missed them but did see Mordecai, Alarcon and Owens.

Among the players who were around last year and remain on the roster but will be participating in rookie minicamp for #49ers: QB Tanner Mordecai TE Mason Pline OL Isaac Alarcon OL Drake Nugent WR Terique Owens

#49ers rookies are off the practice field from Friday’s minicamp. Did not see DT Alfred Collins, S Marques Sigle or QB Kurtis Rourke participating. All three were in attendance and watching closely from the side.

The four remaining unsigned draft picks for the #49ers: DE Mykel Williams DT Alfred Collins DT CJ West QB Kurtis Rourke
