2016 San Francisco 49ers season
The 2016 San Francisco 49ers season will be the franchise's upcoming 67th season in the National Football League, the 71st overall, the third playing their home games at Levi's Stadium and the first under new head coach Chip Kelly. The 49ers are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2015 season where they went 5–11.
