Game preview: Steelers vs Bengals preview: time, TV and how to watch
The Cincinnati Bengals play their home games in Cincinnati, Ohio, at Paycor Stadium, which opened in 2000 and has an open-air design on the Ohio River. The Bengals compete in the AFC North, so the six division games each season come against the same three rivals, home and away. Late-season home games can be cold or wet, so check the forecast before you go. Kickoff times and TV channels for late-season games are often set only a few weeks ahead, so check the schedule below before planning around a game.
