The Trey Lance era with the San Francisco 49ers kicks off in 2022 while former starter Jimmy Garoppolo moves into a backup role.
If you don’t have cable and you live in the 49ers market, you can watch a live stream of every televised game (one game will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video) on FuboTV or DirecTV Stream, which both include CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN and come with a free trial.
Those are the two best options if you’re cutting cable, but there are some other alternatives, including some for out-of-market viewers, so here’s a full guide on the different ways to watch 49ers games streaming live online in 2022:

San Francisco 49ers 2022 Season Preview
Trey Lance time has arrived for the San Francisco 49ers a year after the team invested heavy draft capital to take him an No. 3 in the 2021 draft.
The former North Dakota State produced an unprecedented 2019 season for the Bison, though at the FCS level, with a 16-0 record an no interceptions. Lance’s big arm and quick legs had scouts excited over the Marshall, Minnesota, native.
Despite his talent, Lance comes into the season as one of the least experienced quarterbacks, if not the least, among all NFL starters. He played little in college beyond that historic 2019 seasons with backup playing time in 2018 and one game in 2020 due to COVID-19. Lance also never got to showcase his talent against FBS talent as Oregon, the Bison’s opening opponent, backed out.
Nonetheless, the 49ers took the big chance on Lance. He showed flashes of brilliance for the 49ers last season in two starts when Jimmy Garoppolo was injured, but some inconsistencies loomed.
Lance again made big plays in this year’s preseason, but questions remain as well. Garoppolo also remains on the roster, now as the backup, which could lend itself to a quarterback controversy if Lance struggles. Garoppolo previously had been the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason, but no team went for him amid his shoulder injury recovery.
The 49ers also hand Lance the keys after a second NFC Championship Game appearance in three seasons — all with Garoppolo behind center. It might be the one thing that’s not new for Lance at the NFL level — the pressure of inheriting a successful and stacked roster. He took the reins for the Bison program that went unbeaten and won a national title the year before he became a starter — the same program that won another six Division I national titles since 2011 before that.
Offensive Outlook
Lance has plenty of talented skill players around him, starting with wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, plus tight end George Kittle. Running back Elijah Mitchell and fullback Kyle Juszczyk can make plays as well.
The 49ers’ offensive line has some questions marks, but let tackle Trent Williams is one of the better blockers in the game.
Defensive Outlook
While the 49ers lost a few key players, the addition of defensive back Charvarius Ward could make a big difference. The 49ers also return star defensive end Nick Bosa amid a dearth of talented players on that side of the ball.
Special Teams
If kicker Robbie Gould is as good as gold again, the 49ers will be in great shape on the kicking game. The 49ers will look to Ray-Ray McCloud III on punt and kick returns, and Mitch Wishnowsky will punt again.
