The Miami Dolphins won't be packing their passports for a Mexico City showdown with the San Francisco 49ers this season. While fans buzzed with speculation that the Dolphins might serve as the 49ers' international opponent, the NFL has officially tapped the Minnesota Vikings to take that trip instead.

The Vikings and 49ers are set to face off in Week 11 on Sunday, November 22, at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca. For Dolphins fans, it's a bit of a letdown—but not a total loss. Miami won't forfeit a home game in the process. Instead, the Dolphins-49ers matchup will be played on its originally scheduled turf: Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The exact date for that game is still under wraps, but the NFL is expected to announce the full 2025 schedule on Thursday, May 14. Until then, Dolphins faithful can take comfort knowing their team keeps its full slate of home games at Hard Rock Stadium—even if they miss out on a south-of-the-border road trip.

For now, Miami shifts focus to prepping for a grueling AFC East campaign, while the 49ers navigate a schedule that includes a unique international stop. Whether you're repping aqua and orange or red and gold, this season promises plenty of gridiron drama—no passport required.
