Updated Bengals Schedule 2025
The NFL Schedule has yet to be released, but we do know which teams the Bengals will face this season. We just won't know the exact order of those matchups until the schedule is released. Below, we have listed all 17 opponents on the Cincinnati Bengals' 2025-26 schedule:

The Bengals' 2025 schedule could lead to a bounce-back year for Joe Burrow and company, as the Bengals ended the season with five straight wins. Seven of Cincinnati's 14 opponents finished below .500. This could lead to a nice boost for the Bengals Super Bowl odds.
Bengals 2025 Opponents: Home Games
Below, we have broken down the Bengals' 2025 opponents that Cincinnati will face at home this season:
| 🐦⬛ Baltimore Ravens | 12-5 (6-3, Away) |
| 🐶 Cleveland Browns | 3-14 (1-8, Away) |
| 🐝 Pittsburgh Steelers | 10-7 (5-4, Away) |
| 🐻 Chicago Bears | 5-12 (1-7, Away) |
| 🦁 Detroit Lions | 15-2 (8-0, Away) |
| 🇺🇸 New England Patriots | 4-13 (2-7, Away) |
| ✈️ New York Jets | 5-12 (2-7, Away) |
| 🐆 Jacksonville Jaguars | 4-13 (1-8, Away) |
The Bengals appear to have drawn a pretty easy slate of home games. Of Cincinnati's eight home opponents, the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers were the only teams that finished above .500 last season.
If the Bengals can handle business at home against the AFC North, Cincinnati could be looking at a stellar home record next season. That could make Cincy an intriguing value at most Ohio sportsbooks in 2025.
Bengals 2025 Opponents: Away Games
Here is who Cincinnati will face on the road in 2025:
| 🐦⬛ Baltimore Ravens | 12-5 (6-2, Home) |
| 🐶 Cleveland Browns | 3-14 (2-6, Home) |
| 🐝 Pittsburgh Steelers | 10-7 (5-3, Home) |
| 🦬 Buffalo Bills | 13-4 (8-0, Home) |
| 🐬 Miami Dolphins | 8-9 (5-3, Home) |
| 🧀 Green Bay Packers | 11-6 (6-3, Home) |
| 🟣 Minnesota Vikings | 14-3 (8-1, Home) |
| 🐴 Denver Broncos | 10-7 (6-2, Home) |
Cincinnati gets a little bit unlucky with their eight road games. The majority of those matchups appear particularly difficult, as the Bengals will have to face the Bills, Broncos, Vikings, Steelers, Packers and Ravens on the road. (All 2024 playoff teams)
The Browns and Dolphins combined to go 11-23 last season. Even with the difficult road schedule, the Bengals playoff chances might not be too bad.

We don't know the exact date of the 2025 NFL Schedule Release. However, we can make an educated guess based on the league's recent history.
