San Francisco 49ers Schedulegami: Every Opponent Never Faced in Primetime

Every opponent, every matchup window

All 31 opponents, most meetings first. Each count is the number of games in that window, 1966 through 2025, and opens the head-to-head page; “never” means the pairing is open there, and “2026 first” means this season’s schedule carries their first.

Venue notes: primetime windows where every 49ers meeting with that opponent has been in one city. A game in the other city would be a venue first, not a schedulegami.

About the data

A schedulegami is a game placed in a broadcast window where those two teams have never met before. The pair is unordered. Venue does not matter: a pairing that has only ever met on Sunday night in one city has still met on Sunday night, so the same game in the other city is not a schedulegami. Sunday afternoon windows are never a schedulegami. Two levels are tracked: window-level, the first time a pairing meets in one window, and standalone-level, the first time a pairing meets outside a Sunday afternoon window.

Game history is the same file as Primetime & Holiday History, regular season only, with franchises carried forward under their current names. Coverage by window: Monday night: since 1970, every Monday game as Slot History counts it; Sunday night: since 1987; Thursday night: all Thursday games since 1966 as Slot History counts them; the first non-Thanksgiving Thursday game in the data is 1978; the weekly package began in 2006; Thanksgiving: since 1966; Christmas: since 1966; Saturday: since 1966; Kickoff Game: since 2002; International: since 2005; Friday: since 1966; Wednesday: all-time. A Sunday international game with a verified 8 PM ET or later kickoff counts as International and Sunday night; two games qualify, the 2005 49ers at Cardinals game in Mexico City and the 2026 Vikings at 49ers game in Mexico City. Schedulegami is a MockSlate term, first published September 2026.
