49ers 2023 schedule leaks tracker
Yes, the leaks have already started coming in, including multiple corroborated reports that the Niners won't play an international game this season.
Week 1: 49ers @ Pittsburgh Steelers
93.7 The Fan's Adam Crowley has pretty good sources, and if he's right, San Francisco will kick off Week 1 with a road trip to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Week 3: 49ers vs. New York Giants
The New York Giants' leaked schedule includes a Week 3 Thursday Night Football bout against the 49ers at Levi's Stadium.
Week 5: Dallas Cowboys @ 49ers
Nothing like a primetime Sunday Night Football showdown between two historic rivals, especially after the Niners ousted Dallas in back-to-back playoffs.
Week 12: 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
Remember the last time the 49ers played the Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving? It wasn't pretty.
This go-around, it'll be in Seattle, and the Niners have a chance for some payback almost 10 years later, provided the above rumor turns out to be true.
Week 13: 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles
San Francisco is visiting the Philadelphia Eagles in a grudge match of last season's NFC Championship game, and it is potentially in Week 13, as briefly reported by WTOV Channel 9 in the greater Ohio Valley area in a since-deleted tweet.
The league later confirmed this to be true, though.
Week 16: Baltimore Ravens @ 49ers
San Francisco will also host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football in Week 16, which is also on Christmas Day, according to the above rumor.
