On Sunday, October 12, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will return home to host the San Francisco 49ers in a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff at Raymond James Stadium, presented by Novartis. The game will highlight the NFL's Crucial Catch initiative, raising awareness for cancer prevention and early detection. On the field, Buccaneers players and coaches will wear Crucial Catch apparel, while in-game features will spotlight survivors and local organizations leading the fight against cancer.
Prior to the game, the national anthem will be performed by Pranysqa Mishra, a Tampa resident and America's Got Talent Season 19 semi-finalist. Four-time Pro Bowl tight end Jimmie Giles, a member of the Buccaneers Ring of Honor, will lead the team out of the tunnel during team introductions. Former Buccaneers safety Dwight Smith, a member of Tampa Bay's Super Bowl XXXVII Championship team, will serve as Captain of the Krewe. At halftime, the University of South Florida Marching Band will take the field for a Motown-themed performance, featuring classics including "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and "Respect" by Aretha Franklin.
On Sunday, the Buccaneers will also continue the recognition of local entrepreneurs through the Glazer Family Small Business Fund by highlighting Mike and Jenn Boychuk, owners of The Mint Fox Cookies & Ice Cream in Clearwater Beach. Established in 2024 following Hurricanes Helene and Milton as part of a $2 million pledge toward local recovery, the Glazer Family Small Business Fund works with eight chambers of commerce across the region and has already distributed more than $1.2 million in grants to nearly 300 small businesses. Each home game will spotlight a different chamber, with Week 6 featuring the AMPLIFY Clearwater Chamber.
As part of the Tampa Bay Chef Series presented by Corona, Week 6 will feature Chef Rob Reinsmith of Wild Child. Known for his inventive approach to global flavors, Reinsmith will showcase a Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich with gochujang glaze, kimchi mayo, pickle, and shredded cabbage on a brioche roll. The dish will be available in the Hyundai Club (Section 212), Stadium Club (Section 237), and main concourse (Section 108).
