75th season in franchise history
The 2020 season was the San Francisco 49ers ' 71st in the National Football League (NFL), their 75th overall, and their fourth under the head coach /general manager tandem of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch . The 49ers entered the season as the defending NFC champions ; however, the 49ers failed to improve on their 13–3 season after a Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and were eliminated from playoff contention after a Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys .[ 1]
The season saw many key players missing significant time due to injuries, including starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo , starting tight-end George Kittle , starting cornerback Richard Sherman , starting wide receiver Deebo Samuel , and 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year Nick Bosa .[ 2] The 49ers season ended with a league-high 18 players on injured reserve. Another notable event was the suspension of home games in Santa Clara County due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic , forcing the 49ers to play their final three home games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona .
As of 2023, this is the last time the 49ers failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The 49ers returned from their bye week with some much-needed reinforcement returning from injury: on offense, Raheem Mostert scored a touchdown and 43 yards rushing and Deebo Samuel had 133 receiving yards; on defense, Richard Sherman contributed by grabbing his first interception of the season. The game was largely a defensive struggle. The two teams had four combined turnovers in the first quarter, and the only points scored in the first half came on a Raheem Mostert touchdown and a Matt Gay field goal. Early in the third quarter, the 49ers padded their lead to fourteen points with Javon Kinlaw's pick six and a Robbie Gould field goal. However, the momentum changed quickly as Aaron Donald forced a fumble on Raheem Mostert and it was returned for a touchdown by Troy Hill. The Rams soon scored again on a touchdown run from Cam Akers to take a three-point lead. The Rams' final drives quickly turned to punts while Nick Mullens led the 49ers on two drives resulting in field goals, including the 42-yard game winner by Robbie Gould with no time on the clock.
With the win, the 49ers swept the Rams for the second straight year and bringing their record to 5-6
