The Bengals' 2025 schedule was released tonight by the National Football League, including preseason and the full 17-game regular season slate.
Cincinnati will face two AFC North Division rivals in primetime, beginning with a Thursday Night Football clash against Pittsburgh at Paycor Stadium on Oct. 16 (8:15 p.m. on Prime Video). The Bengals also will travel to Baltimore for a Thanksgiving night game against the Ravens on Thursday, Nov. 27 (8:20 p.m. on NBC). It will mark the second time in team history Cincinnati plays on Thanksgiving, with the last instance coming in the 2010 season.

Additionally, the Bengals will take on a pair of NFC North Division opponents in the widely televised 4:25 p.m. Sunday time slot in back-to-back weeks, as they host Detroit on Oct. 5 (FOX), then travel to face Green Bay on Oct. 12 (CBS). Cincinnati also will play at Buffalo in a 4:25 p.m. matchup on Sunday, Dec. 7 (FOX).
For the second time in three seasons, the "Battle of Ohio" will bookend Cincinnati's schedule. The Bengals will kick off the regular season at Cleveland on Sunday, Sept. 7 (1 p.m. on FOX), marking the 10th time in team history they play their in-state rival in a season opener. Cincinnati then will close out its schedule against the Browns in Week 18 at Paycor Stadium (date/time TBD).
The Bengals will “Open in Orange” at Paycor Stadium against Jacksonville on Sunday, Sept. 14 (1 p.m. on CBS), with fans encouraged to wear all orange for Cincinnati's home opener.
