San Francisco (2-0) hosts Arizona (1-1) at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 27, 1:05 p.m. PDT; the Week 3 game airs on FOX in the Bay Area with streaming options elsewhere.
The San Francisco 49ers meet the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, September 27, in a Week 3 NFC West matchup at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. PDT. The game will be carried by FOX in the Bay Area.
San Francisco enters the weekend at 2-0 with a chance to stay unbeaten through three games. The team opened the season with a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia, then beat the Miami Dolphins at Levi's Stadium in Week 2. It is the second straight home game for the 49ers.
Quarterback Brock Purdy has been among the NFL's standout performers over the first two weeks, according to the report. Injuries continue to hang over the roster, yet the team has looked like one of the league's best in the early going.
Arizona arrives at 1-1 after two weeks. The Cardinals traveled to Los Angeles in Week 1 and beat the Chargers, a result the report described as a surprise to many. They were beaten 31-7 by the Seattle Seahawks last weekend and now face an undefeated opponent on the road.
Oddsmakers have installed San Francisco as an 8.5-point favorite. Sunday gives the 49ers another NFC West opponent after the Week 1 meeting with the Rams, and a victory would keep them perfect while strengthening their early position in the division. The report cautions that divisional games can turn unpredictable regardless of the spread.
For Bay Area viewers, the broadcast is on the local FOX station, and an over-the-air antenna can pick up that signal for fans within range. With the game on FOX, the local station determines who can watch in a given market. That makes regional availability the key factor for viewers.
Sling TV also lists the game. The reported package options are Sling Select at $29.99 per month, Sling Essentials & Select at $44.99 per month, Sling Blue at $54.99 per month and Sling Orange & Blue at $69.99 per month. Because FOX availability differs by market, the report notes that viewers should confirm the channel serves their ZIP code before subscribing.
Several other streaming platforms carry the game as well. fuboTV is listed at $63.99 for the first month and $88.99 per month after that, with a seven-day free trial. DIRECTV STREAM costs $59.99 per month for the first three months and $89.99 per month thereafter. Hulu + Live TV runs $89.99 per month, includes Disney+ and ESPN Unlimited, and offers a three-day free trial. YouTube TV is priced at $59.99 per month for the first three months, then $82.99 per month, with a free trial of variable length.
Fans outside the Bay Area may need NFL Sunday Ticket if the game is not airing on their local FOX affiliate. Sunday Ticket provides access to out-of-market Sunday afternoon games that are not part of a viewer's local broadcast lineup.
