The San Francisco 49ers made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game this past season, but they are entering a new era in 2022. Last year’s first-round pick, Trey Lance, figures to be the starting quarterback moving forward, offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel is now a head coach in Miami and Deebo Samuel’s future with the franchise is uncertain. Still, this team has everything necessary to be a Super Bowl contender.
San Francisco started the 2021 season 3-5, but rebounded to finish 10-7 and earn a playoff berth. In 2022, the 49ers will again have to stay afloat in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL. Unfortunately, Kyle Shanahan and Co. will also play the AFC West this year, which may have overtaken the NFC West as the best division in the NFL thanks to an offseason influx of talent headlined by Russell Wilson’s arrival in Denver.
Below, we will provide a complete look at the teams set to play San Francisco this upcoming season. This piece will be updated once the schedule is official.
The full 2022 NFL schedule will be released on Thursday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network, NFL.com and the NFL app. NFL GameDay View: Schedule Release will stream that night at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+, NFL.com, the NFL app, YouTube and the NFL Channel.
