Free agency and the NFL Draft are officially behind us and Phase II of offseason workouts is in full swing.
So, the next step in the NFL's year-long process is the schedule release for the upcoming season and sure enough, we have arrived at that point.

The 49ers' preseason games include matchups against the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos and Chargers matchups will be held at Levi's Stadium, whereas the Raiders game will be played at Allegiant Stadium.
Per Sharp Football Analysis, the 49ers have the 10th-easiest schedule based off Vegas win totals for the 2023 season. Vegas also has their win total at 11.5, currently, which is obviously in large part to the job that Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch have done when it comes to building the roster. What makes it even more impressive is the fact the team currently has no clear option at quarterback.
One of the key takeaways is the 49ers are on the road for five of the last nine games of the season and four of those final nine games are against divisional opponents. Fortunately, those four games are a 2-2 split in terms of road:home. But, still, having that many divisional games packed into November and December is never a fun road to traverse.
