A select number of games will be “cross-flexed,” moving between CBS and FOX to bring potentially under-distributed games to wider audiences. Some of those contests were announced today, while the remainder of “cross-flexed” games will be decided during the season.

*“Flexible scheduling” will be used in Weeks 11-17. Additionally, in Weeks 5-10, flexible scheduling may be used in no more than two weeks. In Weeks 5-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to January 3. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into primetime.

Levi’s® Stadium Mobile and Electronic Ticketing

As a reminder, Levi’s® Stadium now exclusively features mobile and electronic ticketing for all 49ers games. Fans are now enabled to access and manage game tickets and parking directly from a mobile device or personal computer. Through the mobile device and Levi’s® Stadium app, fans can pull up tickets or parking to scan for entry at the game, or even just access the tickets before the game to forward onto a friend or coworker for them to use.  Fans preferring to have a paper ticket in hand for entry at the game may print tickets (or parking) directly from a computer using the 49ers Account Manager housed at www.levisstadium.com.
