The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most successful franchises in the history of the NFL, having won five Super Bowls and appeared in seven. They are also the team with the most appearances in the NFC Championship game, the game that determines who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. The 49ers have reached the NFC Championship game 19 times, more than any other team in the league.

The NFC Championship game is one of the most prestigious and exciting events in the NFL, as it showcases the best teams in the conference and sets the stage for the ultimate prize, the Super Bowl. The 49ers and the Lions have both earned their spot in this game, and they will give their best to make history and advance to the biggest game of the year. It will be a clash of styles, a clash of cultures, and a clash of legends. It will be a game to remember.

But when was the last time the 49ers reached the NFC Championship game?

The last time the 49ers reached the NFC Championship game was in the 2023 season, when they faced the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on January 21, 2024. The game was a nail-biter, as the 49ers trailed by 11 points in the fourth quarter, but rallied to tie the game with a touchdown and a two-point conversion. The game went into overtime, and the 49ers won on a 45-yard field goal by Robbie Gould, sending them to their 19th NFC Championship game1

The 49ers will host the Detroit Lions, who are making their first NFC Championship game appearance since 1992, at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers are the top seed in the NFC and the favorites to win the game, as they have a balanced offense led by MVP candidate Brock Purdy and a dominant defense featuring Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. The Lions, however, are the Cinderella story of the season, as they have overcome injuries and adversity to reach the conference title game for the first time ever, behind the stellar play of Jared Goff and Jeff Okudah.
