About Miami Dolphins at San Francisco 49ers

An early-season interconference matchup pits an AFC East contender against an NFC West side looking to establish its form for the year ahead. September fixtures like this one often serve as an early gauge of where both rosters stand before the grind of the season proper sets in.

Where to stay nearby

Santa Clara and Milpitas sit right by the stadium, each around 6km away, making either a practical base with no long travel on game day. Both towns have a decent hotel selection and put you close enough to walk or take a short rideshare to your seat. Oakland is further out at roughly 52km, but it has by far the largest range of hotels, so it's worth considering if you want more choice or are combining the game with a longer Bay Area stay — just allow extra time for the drive down, especially with game-day traffic building well before the early afternoon kickoff.

About San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco joined the NFL in 1950 after four seasons in the rival All-America Football Conference, its name honouring the prospectors who flooded California during the 1849 Gold Rush. The 49ers won five Super Bowls between the 1981 and 1994 seasons, built first around quarterback Joe Montana and wide receiver Jerry Rice under coach Bill Walsh's influential 'West Coast offense,' then continued into the following decade by Steve Young.

That system, emphasising short, high-percentage passing, reshaped offensive strategy across the entire league. San Francisco has reached three further Super Bowls since without a win, most recently after the 2023 season. Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara has hosted the team since 2014.

San Francisco 49ers records & quirks

  • 'The Catch' — Dwight Clark's leaping grab from Joe Montana — beat Dallas 28-27 in the January 10, 1982 NFC title game.
  • San Francisco's biggest-ever win was a 49-0 rout of Detroit on October 1, 1961.
  • The Niners beat Denver 55-10 in Super Bowl XXIV, their largest-ever playoff win by margin.
