Bengals 2024 Schedule to be Announced on May 15

The NFL is counting on the Joe Burrow Bengals as they bid for their fourth straight winning season and third AFC North title in four years during eight national television windows this season: "Not only are we counting on them, but that's what the fans have come to expect. That's what the fans are asking for," says Mike North, the NFL's vice president of broadcast planning.

The NFL released its 2024 NFL schedule Wednesday night and Opening Day on Sept. 8 at Paycor Stadium has the Bengals in a 1 p.m. game against the Patriots. It's New England's first game in a quarter of a century without Belichick as the head man and begins a month-long stretch the Bengals play three teams with first-year head coaches and two of them probably starting rookie quarterbacks.
