TIME CHANGE: 49ers vs Jaguars – Schedule Advisory Due to Humberto
Santa Clara, CA — Week 4 brings an NFC showdown as the San Francisco 49ers prepare to host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Levi’s Stadium. But before kickoff, a storm has already changed the script: severe weather passing through Jacksonville grounded the Jaguars’ scheduled flight, delaying their trip to the Bay Area. As of now, kickoff remains scheduled for Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 4:05 PM PDT, but the NFL has acknowledged that the game could be shifted later or to a different day depending on travel logistics and safety.
The league stressed that player, staff, and fan safety is the top priority. Officials are working with both teams to assess travel windows, and updates on potential schedule adjustments will be released as conditions develop.
Storylines to Watch
Brock Purdy vs. Trevor Lawrence
If travel fatigue impacts Jacksonville’s prep, Purdy and the Niners’ timing-heavy offense may have the edge. Lawrence, however, has shown poise in chaos before — and the Jags’ quick-strike passing game could be their equalizer if the schedule crunch doesn’t slow them down.
Trench battle spotlight
San Francisco’s defensive front — anchored by Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Javon Hargrave — will test Jacksonville’s offensive line that’s already under scrutiny. On the flip side, Josh Allen and Travon Walker will look to disrupt Purdy and contain Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield.
Playmakers on alert
Deebo Samuel/Brandon Aiyuk vs. Calvin Ridley/Christian Kirk. Weather delays may affect preparation, but once on the field, it’s all about separation, YAC, and who adjusts better after a disrupted week.
Weather & Travel Factor
While Levi’s Stadium itself isn’t under threat, the storm’s impact in Florida has immediate ripple effects:
-
Travel delays → compressed schedules can reduce practice and walkthrough time.
Uncertainty in kickoff → both teams must prepare for flexibility, with game plans potentially tweaked to account for late arrivals.
Player readiness → Jaguars may face challenges with recovery, hydration, and routine due to altered travel.
Fan Experience & Contingency Plans
-
Tickets: All tickets remain valid even if the game is shifted. Fans should check 49ers, Jaguars, and NFL apps for updates.
Parking & Gates: Current schedules remain, but could be adjusted in case of a time shift.
What to Bring: Weather in Santa Clara looks clear — but pack patience. Delays in Jacksonville may push kickoff later than expected.
Tailgating: At Levi’s, all plans stay intact unless NFL announces rescheduling.
Broadcast
The matchup is slated for FOX in the late-afternoon window, with streaming via NFL+ in the U.S. and international rightsholders. If kickoff shifts, broadcast updates will follow immediately.
Odds & Series Notes
-
Spread (reference): 49ers -5.5 to -6.0, though travel delays could add volatility.
Over/Under (reference): ~46.0 — with schedule disruption, expect line movement near kickoff.
Series note: The Jaguars have historically struggled against NFC powers, while the 49ers enter with momentum after a strong start.
