Kickoff time is a moving target. It depends on the network. It depends on the moon phase. (Okay, maybe not the moon). But it does depend on which stadium is hosting.
West Coast games start at 1:25 PM Pacific. That’s a cozy, sun-drenched time. East Coast games? That’s a brutal 10:00 AM Pacific wake-up call. Your eggs and your blood pressure will be scrambled.
Here’s a fun fact: The NFL loves the 49ers. Seriously. They get prime-time slots. That means a 5:20 PM or 8:20 PM kickoff. You’ll need snacks for the long haul.
But Wait, There’s a Catch
Is it a “flex” game? Oh, the dreaded flex. The NFL can move your game to Sunday Night Football. They do this to maximize chaos. And ratings.
If the 49ers are on a winning streak, the league loves them. They’ll push the game to primetime. You’ll suddenly need to cancel your dinner plans. Sorry, grandma.
Pro tip: Always check 48 hours before game day. That’s when the flex curse strikes. You’ll wake up, and your 1:00 PM game is now a 5:00 PM nightmare.
