With second international game, the 49ers are already fighting uphill when it comes to a rough 2026 schedule

The San Francisco 49ers had injury issues that were out of their control this past season. They overcame those challenges to make the playoffs, but missing several key players undoubtedly capped their potential to make a deeper run.

The NFL’s league year doesn’t even start until March, but we already know the 49ers have another massive roadblock awaiting them.

The 49ers announced they will play in Mexico City during the 2026 NFL regular season. That’s not too unusual, but it is unprecedented that they’ll play two international games next season in different continents. Add on the 49ers’ announced game in Australia against the Los Angeles Rams, and suddenly travel becomes a big issue.

The 49ers will travel more miles than anyone in the NFL next season and more than any team ever has. That’s a hefty challenge no other team is going to be dealing with next season.

That's messed up and I'm not a niners fan.
