PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 schedule was released on Thursday, and it comes as no surprise the team is once again featured in multiple primetime games.

In coach Mike McCarthy’s first season, the Steelers will appear in four primetime games, one at Acrisure Stadium and three on the road.

In addition, the Steelers will play in the NFL Paris Game against the New Orleans Saints, the first-ever regular season game in France, and at home on Black Friday against the Denver Broncos.

With 17 games on the schedule, the Steelers will have an additional away game this year, with the NFL rotating the 17th game on a home/away basis each year.

The Steelers will open the season at home for only the second time since 2014, and only the 11th time since Acrisure Stadium opened in 2001, when they host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Sept. 13. The game will kick off at 1 p.m. on FOX and feature new Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski, the former coach of the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers hold a 16-2-1 all-time advantage over the Falcons, including a 7-0-1 record at home. The two teams last met in 2024, an 18-10 Steelers win, and the black and gold have won the last five meetings.

The Steelers will hit the road to face the AFC Champion New England Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 20 at Gillette Stadium. The 1 p.m. game can be seen on CBS.

AFC North action will start early in 2026 when the Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 27 in a Week 3 matchup. The game will air on CBS at 1 p.m.
