""I don't see any pro. It's cool for the league to play globally. I think that's awesome. But as far as the team doing it, no, there's not much benefit to it.""
""We may be going a little early. They may be going later, but we're trying to look into everything to make it as comfortable [as possible].""

Kyle Shanahan is not pleased with the San Francisco 49ers' upcoming trip to Melbourne for the 2026 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. He sees no benefits to the long flight and notes the lack of a bye week afterward. The game is scheduled for September 10, 2026, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The 49ers plan to arrive in Australia five to seven days prior to the game, while the Rams are expected to travel closer to game day.
