Week 1 in Seattle? There is a chance the 49ers could open the season at Seattle on Sept. 4. As the defending Super Bowl champion, the Seahawks will kick off the NFL schedule on a Thursday night. The 49ers are one of the more likely opponents. The Seahawks beat the 49ers in the NFC title game in Seattle in a last-second thriller.
Breaking in Levi's Stadium: The 49ers are expected to play their first game in their new home, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, on Week 2. It has been reported it will be the Sunday night game.
