San Francisco’s professional American football team is called the 49ers (sometimes spelled Forty Niners). The 49ers participate in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) West division and play their home games at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, approximately 38 miles (61 km) southeast of San Francisco. The name of the team pays tribute to the early pioneers who came to Northern California in the wake of the Gold Rush that began in 1849.
The franchise debuted in 1946 as a member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), before merging with the National Football League (NFL) in 1949. The 49ers are the 10th oldest franchise in the NFL and the first major league professional sports team to call San Francisco home. The team’s first home was Kezar Stadium in San Francisco before relocating to Candlestick Park in 1971 and then to Levi’s Stadium in 2014. Since 1988, the 49ers have been headquartered in Santa Clara.
In the span between 1981 and 1994, the 49ers won five Super Bowls. Four of those came in the 1980s and were led by Hall of Famers Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Steve Young, Charles Haley, Fred Dean, and coaches Bill Walsh and George Seifert. They are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, having won their division a record 21 times between 1970 and 2021. With a record of 28 appearances (27 in the NFL and 1 in the AAFC), the 49ers are tied for fourth all-time in playoff victories (33) and have played in a league-record 16 NFC Championship Games (10 of which were played at home).
There are a plethora of NFL records that this club has broken: most field goals in a season (44), most games won in a season (18), most field goals in a season (42), most games played in a season (420 games from 1979 to 2004), most touchdowns in a season (eight), most points scored (55) in a Super Bowl (eight), and most points scored in a postseason (131).
The 49ers are the sixth-most valuable NFL team, according to Forbes, at $3.05 billion as of September 2019. In 2020, they were ranked the 12th most valuable sports team in the world, below the Los Angeles Rams and above the Chicago Bears. In 2018, the enterprise division of the 49ers revealed they obtained a 15% minority ownership share in the English football team Leeds United F.C.; in 2021, this investment was expanded to 44%.
