Cincinnati Bengals official 2022 schedule released

After an appearance in the Super Bowl, the Cincinnati Bengals will kick off their 2022 season in Week 1 with a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As a whole, the oft-requested Bengals will play in primetime five times and the usual 1 p.m. ET starts are dramatically decreased compared to the norm.

Here’s a look at the full schedule:

  • Week 1: vs Pittsburgh Steelers (1p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 2: at Dallas Cowboys (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 3: at New York Jets (1p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 4: vs Miami Dolphins (Thursday Night Football. 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video)
  • Week 5: at Baltimore (Sunday Night Football, 8:15 p.m, NBC)
  • Week 6: at New Orleans Saints (1p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 7: vs Atlanta Falcons (1p.m. ET, Fox)
  • Week 8: at Cleveland Browns (Monday Night Football, 8:15 p.m., ESPN)
  • Week 9: vs Carolina Panthers (1p.m. ET, Fox)
  • Week 10: BYE
  • Week 11: at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday Night Football, 8:20 p.m, NBC)
  • Week 12: at Tennessee Titans (1p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 13: vs Kansas City Chiefs (4:25 p.m. ET)
  • Week 14: vs Cleveland Browns (1p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 15: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 16: at New England Patriots (Saturday game, 1 p.m. ET, CBS)
  • Week 17: vs Buffalo Bills (Monday Night Football, 8:30 p.m., ESPN)
  • Week 18:  vs Baltimore Ravens (flex, time and TV TBD, Jan. 7 or Jan 8)

As expected, one of the league’s toughest schedules, thanks to playing the top seeds from other divisions, asks the Bengals to close out the year with a tough stretch.

That anticipated game where Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase will return to NOLA to play the New Orleans Saints occurs in Week X and is/isn’t on primetime.
