It's never too early to start looking toward next season.
The 49ers will play eight home games and nine contests away from Levi's Stadium during the 2023 NFL season, just as they did in 2021 -- the first year of the league's 17-game schedule.
Since the 49ers clinched the NFC West, they will host the NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Levi's Stadium and visit the NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. San Francisco also will pay a visit to the AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field.
All but one of the 49ers' opponents next season was known entering Week 18. Jacksonville etched its name on San Francisco's 2023 schedule by defeating the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on Saturday for the AFC South crown.

The entire NFC West division will face eight opponents from the AFC North and NFC East. Those eight games combined with the normal six NFC West battles and three tilts against the NFC South, NFC North and AFC South division champions will make up the 49ers' 2023 schedule.
