The NFL is announcing its full 2026 schedule Thursday night, but many of the dates, times and opponents for the Pittsburgh Steelers are already out after more than a week of trickling information.

Here is everything you need to know about the Black and Yellow’s schedule:

How many prime time games do the Steelers have?

Barring any flexed games, which the NFL tends to do to set up marquee matchups, especially later in the season, the Steelers currently have six prime time games.

They play a Thursday night game in Week 4 at Cleveland and on Black Friday at 3 p.m. at home against Denver. There are two Sunday Night Football games — Week 10 at Cincinnati and Week 13 against Houston — and a Monday Night Football game Week 14 at Jacksonville.

They also will play in the first NFL regular-season game in Paris in Week 7 against New Orleans.

Who do the Steelers face in Week 1?

They have a home opener 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, against Atlanta.

Who do the Steelers face in Week 18?

Arch-rival Baltimore in a game Saturday or Sunday, Jan. 9-10. The NFL schedules its final week of games the week before to set up the best prime time matchups with playoff implications. Good chance this game gets one of the top billings.
