A fight outside Levi's Stadium ended with 11 arrests and 45 ejections after the San Francisco 49ers beat the Las Vegas Raiders 38-17 on Nov. 8, 2026. Santa Clara police said the violence unfolded near the stadium after the game, turning a rivalry night into a law-enforcement response.
Police said seven of the 11 people arrested were cited for disorderly conduct, four were arrested for allegedly fighting in a public place, and at least one person faced a drug possession charge. Santa Clara Police Department spokesperson Lt. Eric Lagergren said incidents of violence at large-scale events in Santa Clara will not be tolerated, adding that the department strictly enforces the law and holds people accountable for criminal conduct.
That response matters because the scene around the stadium was not treated as a single scuffle. Police said the arrests and ejections followed fan-on-fan violence tied to the game, a matchup that already carried extra edge because of the 49ers vs. Raiders rivalry. Video circulating from the night showed punches thrown and one person collapsing to the ground while others kept fighting.
There is still one point that does not line up cleanly: the brawl appeared to happen after the final whistle, but 49ers defensive lineman Keion White said he believed he saw fans fighting in the stands while the game was still going on. That leaves open whether the first blow was in the seats or the parking lot, even if the fallout was the same. Lagergren said police will seek to arrest the people responsible for the fan-on-fan violence at the event.
For White, the game ended with more than a score line. It ended with a stadium full of fans, a heavy police response, and another chapter in a rivalry that spilled beyond the field.
