NFL playoff schedule: 49ers to host Lions in NFC championship game

The 49ers will host the Detroit Lions in the NFC championship game after the Lions downed the Buccaneers 31-23 in their divisional playoff matchup.

Kickoff is slated for 3:30pm on Sunday, Jan. 28 at Levi’s Stadium.

This will mark the third time the two teams have faced off in the postseason. Detroit got the better of the 49ers in a 31-27 win in the 1957 divisional round. San Francisco exacted some revenge with a 24-23 win in the 1983 divisional round.

All-time the teams have played 68 times. The 49ers are 39-28-1 all-time vs. Detroit. Their last matchup was a 41-33 San Francisco win in Week 1 of the 2021 season.
