The 49ers’ owner has been suspended by the NFL

Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, has been suspended for six games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

He will also have to pay a $500,000 fine.

This penalty follows an incident in Ohio. Arrested in that state, Jed York ultimately pleaded “no contest” on August 24 to two misdemeanor charges. His arrest was linked to suspicions regarding the use of prostitution.

The NFL took into account the first three games of the 2026 season, during which York had already been on leave from the organization. He also did not attend league meetings during that period.

As a result, the three games he has already missed will be deducted from his six-game suspension. The 49ers owner will therefore be able to officially resume his duties starting Tuesday, October 20.

In a statement released after the decision was announced, York said he fully accepted the NFL's punishment. He apologized to his family, the players, coaches, and employees in San Francisco, as well as the franchise's fans and partners.

He also acknowledged that he had made a mistake that he considers incompatible with the values he wishes to instill in his children. The 49ers owner assured that he intends to learn from this incident and gradually regain the trust of those associated with the organization.

When will Jed York return to the 49ers?

Although his suspension will officially end on October 20, the 49ers' first game following his return will be an away game. San Francisco will travel to face the Atlanta Falcons on October 25, during Week 7 of the NFL season.

After that game, the 49ers will have a week off. The first home game Jed York will be able to attend is scheduled for November 8, when San Francisco hosts the Las Vegas Raiders, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's former rival teams.
