CBS is set to broadcast the game, marking their first 49ers broadcast of the 2025 season.

San Francisco is coming off a 26-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, dropping their record to 3-1. The team has a short week to prepare before embarking on a two-game road trip, starting with a Thursday night clash against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.

The 49ers previously played an early 10 a.m. PT game in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. With Week 6's early game removed, only three more 10 a.m. PT kickoffs remain on their schedule: Week 8 at the Houston Texans, Week 9 at the New York Giants, and Week 13 at the Cleveland Browns.

San Francisco's next home game is scheduled for October 19 against the Atlanta Falcons.
