The San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings are scheduled to play a regular-season game in Mexico, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Reporting on "The Insiders," Rapoport confirmed that the league is focusing on this specific matchup for its return to Mexico City. The game is part of the NFL’s ongoing International Series, which seeks to grow the sport's footprint outside of the United States. While the league has not yet released the official date or kickoff time, the contest is expected to be one of the marquee events of the upcoming international slate.
The 49ers have previously enjoyed significant support in Mexico, most recently appearing at Estadio Azteca in 2022. For the Vikings, this represents another high-profile opportunity to expand their brand internationally. Further details regarding ticket sales and stadium logistics are expected to be announced by the league as the schedule is finalized.
