San Francisco 49ers schedule and opponents

Take a look at the 49ers' schedule and opponents for the upcoming 2024 season.

The San Francisco 49ers remain one of the top Super Bowl contenders heading into 2024 despite coming off another tough Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last February.

After some effective free agency moves at the start of the league new year in March, head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. hope that a relatively still-intact core will be more than enough to do one game better this season in comparison to last year.

Not only are the Niners favored to win the NFC West again in 2024, but they're also right at the top of favorites to win the entire conference, according to the latest odds over at FanDuel (odds change periodically).

So, what's the 2024 regular-season schedule going to look like for San Francisco en route to a hopeful late push into the playoffs that culminates with a Super Bowl victory?

* denotes primetime game

The Niners will have a first-place schedule in 2024, and the NFC West will square off against both the NFC North and AFC East this year.

Plus, San Francisco will have two grudge matches against three playoff opponents from last season: the Packers, Lions and the Chiefs. Kansas City will be that extra at-large game added onto the schedule, and the 49ers will have that at home after being on the road nine times a year ago.
