Cincinnati Bengals fans cleared another hurdle on their way to seeing football again in 2026 as the NFL officially released the schedule for next season.
We’ve known for some time who the Bengals would play in the 2026 season and where those games would be played, but now we finally know when, and there are a few big notes.
They start the season off with seven straight Sunday 1 PM games, with their Week 6 bye before they play in Spain at 9:30 in the morning in Week 9.
From that point, they’re loaded
with primetime games. They play the Steelers on Sunday Night Football, the Commanders on Monday Night the following week, Kansas City at 4:25 in Week 14, and then they finally host the Ravens in a Primetime game on New Year’s Eve in Week 17.
Now, the only thing left to do is get there. Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter to the Bengals’ 2026 schedule release:
