The upcoming Week 5 NFL match between the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals is expected to be the hottest ever game at Levi's Stadium. Temperatures are forecasted to reach above 90 degrees, influenced by a heat wave affecting the West Coast. The 49ers requested permission to wear white uniforms to combat the heat, but the NFL denied this request. Fans are advised to stay hydrated and can bring water and umbrellas into the stadium, where sun-soaked sections may cause discomfort.
Gametime temperatures hovered above 90 degrees ahead of kickoff as an excessive heat warning from the National Weather Service remained in effect, part of a broader late-season heat wave affecting the West Coast.
In anticipation of the heat, the 49ers sought a wardrobe change, but the NFL this week denied the team's request to wear white uniforms, instead of the team's customary red jerseys worn at home.
The team has advised fans to hydrate - with water - before and during the game. Stadium rules allow fans to bring water and umbrellas inside, which could help.
Prior to Sunday, the hottest regular-season 49ers game at Levi's Stadium was played with a high of 88 degrees against the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 3, 2021.
