The Raiders, who are planning to move to Las Vegas in 2020, will also have one fewer regular season game in Oakland, as they have been designated the home team for a game in London against the Chicago Bears.

Meanwhile, the 49ers will begin their preseason schedule at Levi's Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys, with time and date yet to be revealed. The Niners will then hit the road for two exhibition games, first to Denver to face the Broncos on August 19th, then to the Kansas City Chiefs at a date to be determined.
