Mexico City: The 49ers’ Second Home
Mexico City isn't just another international game destination—it's the most passionate football market outside the United States, with over 40 million fans and a history with the sport that runs deeper than most American cities. In 2026, the San Francisco 49ers return to Estadio Banorte (formerly Estadio Azteca), the legendary 90,000-seat stadium that has hosted some of the most electric atmospheres in sports history. This game isn't just another away match—it's a homecoming.
The 49ers have played in Mexico City twice before (2005 and 2022), and the fanbase there already knows and loves this team.
Why This Game Matters
This game is more than just a regular-season matchup—it's the culmination of years of investment and connection. The 49ers hold international marketing rights in Mexico as part of the NFL's Global Markets Program, meaning the organization has been building a genuine, loyal following that will pack Estadio Banorte in red and gold.
This game is part of a three-year commitment to play regular-season games in Mexico City through 2028, cementing the city's place on the international football calendar for years to come. While the opponent and exact date will be announced when the full schedule drops in the spring, one thing is already confirmed: the altitude, the atmosphere, and the occasion will make this a game to remember.

We chose Sports Fans Travel because of the itinerary. It was more than a football game — it was a thoughtfully curated Australian adventure. We tried kangaroo pie, stopped on a dark road to see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross, fed wallabies in the Blue Mountains, took in the Opera House from a ferry, and hung out with 49ers QB and Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia, who was so approachable and a great choice for our host. Josh and Zack were always there and took care of everyone and everything — nothing was too small or unimportant. That's what made it such a good value, and why we'll book with Sports Fans Travel again without hesitation.
Communication from Josh and that he took time to make us feel special.
