Levi’s® Stadium has always been the heart of sports and entertainment in Santa Clara, but its latest upgrades just took things to another level. On August 7, the San Francisco 49ers unveiled the results of a $200 million renovation project during a special event for season ticket holders called Levi’s® Stadium Under the Lights, setting the stage for an exciting NFL season and an even bigger 2026.
What’s New at Levi’s® Stadium?
The upgrades are hard to miss. Two massive new 4K video boards now dominate the north and south ends of the stadium, each 70% larger than the previous ones and packing over 300% more pixels. Levi’s® Stadium now has the largest 4K display in the NFL.
LED field lights with color capabilities, more than 55,000 square feet of new LED ribbon boards, and a reimagined sound and visual production room give fans a brighter, louder, and more immersive gameday experience. Behind the scenes, the stadium got a major tech boost with better Wi-Fi, a new DAS cellular network, and improved connectivity through partnerships with Comcast, Cisco, Verizon, and DGP.
Fans also got a first look at the newly remodeled 49ers Team Store presented by Visa and toured the new production control room, which is the largest of its kind on the West Coast.
More Than a Game Day Destination
These renovations aren’t just about football. With the 2026 Super Bowl and six FIFA World Cup matches on the schedule, Levi’s® Stadium will become the first venue in global history to host both events in the same year. It’s a milestone not just for the stadium, but for Santa Clara and the entire Bay Area.
The economic impact is huge. Levi’s® Stadium has already brought in more than $2 billion for the region in its first 10 years. Thanks to next year’s major events, it’s projected to generate over $1 billion in 2026 alone.
