49ers owner Jed York has been suspended for six game for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.
York, who was also hit with a $500,000 fine, has stayed away from the team for the first three games of the 2026 season in addition to league meetings after pleading no-contest to two misdemeanor charges on August 24 after being arrested in Ohio. He was arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution.
The league will count those three games towards his six-game ban, meaning he will be able
to return from Tuesday, Oct. 20.
A statement from York read: “Today, the NFL concluded its review, and I accept its decision in full.
“To my family, to the players, coaches, and employees of the San Francisco 49ers, to our fans and partners, I am deeply sorry. This was an inexcusable mistake and I take full responsibility. What I did does not reflect my values or the man I strive to be for my family.
“While I fell short of the model I want to set for my sons, I now hope to show them the importance of owning up to one’s failures, and that even our worst moments teach us to be better.
“Leading the 49ers is a privilege, and one I don’t take lightly. Your trust will have to be earned back over time, and I look forward to that work ahead.”
