49ers schedule: Are the San Francisco 49ers playing today?

Are the San Francisco 49ers playing today? Here’s a look at the schedule and the games to come. 

Will the San Francisco 49ers be on the field today in Week 9 of the NFL schedule?

Following a 30-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys, the 49ers are on a bye week and will return to the field on November 10 for a showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers will be coming off a short week after visiting the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 8, and they’re banged up with their two top wide receivers – Chris Godwin and Mike Evans – both dealing with injuries. Godwin is out for the year, and Evans isn’t expected back for several weeks.

Tampa Bay still brings a good defense into the matchup though, and their run game has enough juice to create some issues for the 49ers’ defense. Still, it’s a game that looks imminently winnable considering the 49ers’ rest advantage, the potential return of running back Christian McCaffrey, and the Buccaneers injury issues.

How to watch 49ers preseason national TV game vs. Saints

The 49ers are on national TV vs. the Saints! Here’s how to tap in:

Week 2 of the preseason was a little bit of a curveball for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.

The two clubs were supposed to have three days of joint practices in Irvine, Calif. before facing off Sunday evening at Levi’s Stadium. The injury bug bit the 49ers so bad that they weren’t going to have enough players to properly execute a joint practice, so they cancelled those practices.

By cancelling those sessions, the 49ers changed their preseason calculus a bit. Typically they use the joint practices as a de facto game environment for the starters, then the reserves play in the preseason game.

Without the joint practices, the 49ers will now play their starters some against the Saints according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. That’s good news for FOX, which will be carrying the game nationally. It’s also good news for 49ers fans hoping to see more of what the team might actually look like when they line up for Week 1.

There will still be notable absences with left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk both sitting out while they await new contracts, but for the most part it should more closely resemble the 49ers than the team that took the field to open the preseason opener in Tennessee.

Here’s game information and how to watch/listen to Week 2 of the preseason:

Kickoff: 5:00pm Pacific Time

Location: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.

TV: FOX

Free streaming: FuboTV

Radio: KGO 810 AM

The 49ers also stream the game on their app, but it’s only available for viewers in the Bay Area market.

NFL+ also offers a paid streaming option.
