49ers prepare for Dolphins in home opener after Week 1 successes

The San Francisco 49ers host the Miami Dolphins at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, September 18, 2026. The 49ers opened their season with a victory, while the Dolphins suffered a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, scoring just 13 points. Miami struggled offensively, posting 74 rushing yards against the Raiders, far below their average of 202 yards per game last season. As the 49ers look to capitalize on this matchup, key players like Malik Willis and De’Von Achane will be pivotal for Miami's offensive strategy against the strong 49ers defense. San Francisco’s defensive performance in Week 1 included limiting the Rams to only six first downs through the air.
