The Bengals' Week 18 matchup against the Cleveland Browns will take place Sunday, Jan. 4, at 1 p.m. on CBS, the NFL announced today.
Cincinnati will close out the 2025 regular season at home against their AFC North foes. The two teams last met in Cleveland in Week 1, with the Bengals pulling out a tight 17-16 victory.
The Browns are attempting to beat consecutive divisional opponents after besting the Pittsburgh Steelers 13-6 in Week 17. Edge rusher Myles Garrett is on the verge of history, needing one sack in Week 18 to break the all-time single season sack record.
For the Bengals, QB Joe Burrow will look to close the season out on a high note. Cincinnati is 3-2 since Burrow returned from injury in Week 13 and 5-2 overall with QB1 as the starter.
Limited tickets for Week 18 remain and may be purchased here.
