Pittsburgh Steelers will open NFL season on the road

The Steelers 2025 schedule was released on Wednesday evening, and it comes as no surprise the team is once again featured in multiple primetime games.
The Steelers will appear in four primetime games, two at Acrisure Stadium and two on the road. In addition, they will play in the NFL Dublin Game, hosting the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park in Ireland.
