What happened: The team practiced at AAMI Park on Monday. Its 2026 season begins Sept. 11 local time at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Why it matters: The overseas trip leaves four local days between Monday's workout and kickoff. The game begins a nine-game international slate spanning seven cities and four continents.
By the numbers: Kickoff is set for 10:35 a.m. Friday in Melbourne, corresponding to 5:35 p.m. Thursday on the U.S. West Coast.
What to watch: Attention now turns to the 49ers' final availability decisions for Week 1.
