The NFL announced the 2016 preseason schedule on Thursday, and the San Francisco 49ers get three repeat opponents. Their new opponent this year is the Green Bay Packers, a team they lost to 17-3 in Week 3 last season. This is only the fifth preseason matchup between the long-time rivals. The 49ers are 3-1 against the Packers in the previous preseason matchups.
The 49ers face the San Diego Chargers for the 30th consecutive year, again wrapping up the preseason schedule. The 49ers face the Houston Texans for the fifth time overall, and the Denver Broncos for the 38th time overall.
