The 49ers visit the Eagles in the NFC Championship game, and Niner Noise breaks down how you can tune in live to this penultimate game of the year.

The San Francisco 49ers find themselves one game away from appearing in the Super Bowl for a second consecutive year.

And, unlike last season, head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. are hoping they don’t come up short and wind up watching the big game from the couch this February.

This time around, however, the Niners aren’t squaring off against a division rival they beat twice during the regular season, the Los Angeles Rams. Instead, the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles await and will host San Francisco for the NFC Championship game and the right to advance to Super Bowl LVII.

Here is all the information you’ll want to know for championship weekend.

In addition, the AFC Championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs will take place the same day but at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Where is the 2023 NFC Championship game being played?
