NFL Names 49ers Home Team for 2026 Mexico City Game at Renovated Estadio Banorte

The game anchors a multiyear Mexico commitment, with opponent and kickoff to follow the spring schedule release.

Overview

  • The Mexico City fixture will be staged at the refurbished Estadio Banorte (formerly Estadio Azteca), which is set to reopen in March after World Cup–driven upgrades.
  • The announcement initiates a three-year Mexico agreement to host regular-season games in 2026, 2027 and 2028.
  • Opponent, date and kickoff will be named with the full 2026 schedule, and the NFL has opened registration for advance presale access.
  • League officials have indicated the matchup will likely fall in December rather than November.
  • San Francisco is also slated to play in Melbourne in 2026, marking the franchise’s first season with two international regular-season games and contributing to the NFL’s record nine-game global slate.
