San Francisco 49ers Will Travel Around the World During the 2026 Season
We all are very familiar with the NFL’s obsession with globalizing their sport. And that isn’t going to change anytime soon. We previously wrote about their European expansion, making deals with Spain, France and the U.K. But Australia and Mexico are also part of the game plan. Which is why the San Francisco 49ers will travel around the world during the 2026 season.
According to ESPN NFL Analyst Field Yates:
“The 49ers will play a regular season game in Melbourne, Australia, a home regular season game in Mexico City and have a schedule that includes two cross country road games at the Falcons and the Giants. They might be the most well-traveled team in NFL history next year.”
The distance between San Francisco, CA and Melbourne, Australia is approximately 7,857 miles. And the distance between San Francisco and Mexico City is not quite as formidable but still a respectable 1,888 miles. In other words, the 49ers will touch base at some very far locations. Not to mention having to travel to the east coast to play the New York Giants and down south to meet up with the Atlanta Falcons.
The 49ers will need to rest up this offseason so they will be prepared to travel the globe next season. An opponent for the Mexico City game is unknown at this time and will be announced later. However, the Mexico City game will be considered a home game for the San Francisco 49ers. And they will play against the rival Los Angeles Rams.

In Mexico the game 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. Regarding that game, San Francisco 49ers CEO Al Guido said the following:
“We are thrilled to return to Mexico and to play in front of one of the most passionate fan bases in the league. After two unforgettable experiences in 2005 and 2022 in Mexico City, we’re excited to reunite with the Mexico Faithful and look forward to the energy local fans will bring in creating a true home-field advantage for our team abroad.”
More details will emerge about their game in Melbourne, Australia later but the city is excited to have them. The game will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Nevertheless, as football fans we hope all the traveling won’t negatively impact the players.
