The schedule for the Cincinnati Bengals' upcoming season has officially been released.
Cincinnati is scheduled to have four primetime appearances and three nationally televised late afternoon games so far. The maximum amount of primetime games a team can be scheduled with is six giving the NFL room to flex the Bengals into a few more primetime slots.
The Bengals will host two marquee games at Paycor Stadium this season. In Week 3, the Bengals will host a rematch of Super Bowl 56 on “Monday Night Football” against the Los Angeles Rams. In early November, the Buffalo Bills will travel to Cincinnati for an AFC showdown on “Sunday Night Football” which has all the makings to be a classic.
Cincinnati won’t play on Thanksgiving or Christmas this year and won’t play internationally.
For the first time since 2017, the Bengals open and close the season against the same opponent.
