The 49ers will open defense of their NFC championship at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 13.
The schedule, announced Thursday, also includes a Nov. 15 return to New Orleans, the scene of the Niners' most electrifying win during last year's run to the Super Bowl.
The 49ers will play back-to-back games in the New York area, against the Jets in Week 2 and Giants in Week 3. That probably means another week at the team's home-away-from-home, Youngstown, Ohio, to avoid consecutive cross-country trips.
Green Bay returns to Levi's Stadium on Nov. 5 _ a Thursday night _ for a rematch of last season's NFC championship game.
The 49ers close the season against Seattle, just like last season, but this time in Santa Clara.
Other highlights:
_ Three Sunday Night Football games: Week 4 against Philadelphia, Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams and Week 15 at Dallas.
_ One Monday Night Football game: Week 13 against Buffalo.
Of course, all of this depends on whether the coronavirus pandemic does not affect the schedule.
