We’ve known for a while who the 49ers are going to play in 2022. Now we know in what order.
The 49ers announced their entire 2022 schedule on Thursday afternoon, one that includes five prime time games during the 18-week season.
The 49ers open their season on the road at Chicago, a trip that also coincides with the San Francisco Giants visiting the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The 49ers will play their home opener the next week on Sunday afternoon vs. the Seattle Seahawks.
Interestingly, the 49ers will play both games against the Super Bowl champion Rams early in the season, at home in Week 4 on Monday Night Football and on the road in Week 8 on Sunday afternoon. San Francisco’s other prime time games will be at Denver in Week 3 on Sunday night, vs. the Chargers in Week 10 on Sunday night, a Monday Night Football game in Mexico City vs. the Cardinals in Week 11 and a Thursday night tilt in Seattle in Week 15.
