The 1989 NFL season was the 70th regular season of the National Football League. Before the season, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle announced his retirement. Paul Tagliabue was eventually chosen to succeed him.

Due to damage caused by the Loma Prieta earthquake to Candlestick Park, the New England Patriots - San Francisco 49ers match on October 22 was played at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California.

The season ended with Super Bowl XXIV when the 49ers defeated the Denver Broncos.

Major rule changes

*After a foul that occurs inside the last two minutes of the first half and inside the last five minutes of the second half, the game clock will start at the snap, instead of when the ball is spotted and the Referee signals it is ready to be played.
*New rules are enacted, including loss of time outs or five-yard penalties, to handle the problems of crowd noise when it becomes too loud that it prevents the offensive team from hearing its signals.
*If a receiver and a defender eventually establish joint control of a pass, the ball will be awarded to whoever was the first one who established control the ball first.
