SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers have a new home, at least for their next two games.

As had been expected since Santa Clara County announced on Saturday new COVID-19-related restrictions that prevent contact sports in the county for at least the next three weeks, the Niners announced Monday morning that they will hold their next two games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

That, of course, is the home of the Cardinals, who have no day-of-game scheduling conflicts with the Niners moving forward.

"The Cardinals organization, State Farm Stadium and League officials have been supportive and accommodating as we work through the many logistical issues involved in relocating NFL games," the 49ers said in a statement.

Monday's announcement means the Niners will "host" the Buffalo Bills for Monday Night Football on Dec. 7 and the Washington Football Team on Dec. 13 in Arizona. The Niners' other game in that three-week time frame is set for Dec. 20 in Dallas against the Cowboys.

A league source told ESPN after Santa Clara County's announcement on Saturday that the NFL and the 49ers had been working through contingencies since before the season began.

At the time, it was unclear whether the county would approve the Niners to even begin training camp at Levi's Stadium and the team facilities. Arizona was considered the top option then for the Niners if they had to relocate games because of relative proximity and the lack of schedule conflicts with the Cardinals.

Over the past few days, the league and the Niners also considered temporary homes in Dallas -- the Cowboys also have no schedule conflicts with the 49ers -- and San Diego. San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer's office reached out to the Niners soon after the announcement to see if his city could be a landing spot, according to Niners CEO Jed York.

I also want to thank @SDMayorsOffice for immediately reaching out to see if San Diego could help @49ers during our search for a home. While we wish we could keep our players at / close to home with their families during the holidays, that is currently not viable. #OneDayAtATime

The 49ers are still working through where they will practice for the next few weeks. Their preference is to stay in the Bay Area for practice and fly to Arizona for games, but that might not be feasible logistically, in part because Santa Clara County has recommended a 14-day quarantine for anyone traveling 150-plus miles and returning to the county.

If those arrangements can't be worked out, the Niners would likely set up a sort of bubble in Arizona, where they could practice and stay between games.

It remains to be seen where the 49ers will close out the regular season. They're scheduled to play the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium on Jan. 3, but that will depend on whether Santa Clara County extends the three-week ban on contact sports.
