While the official Steelers schedule will be released Thursday evening, we already know who Pittsburgh will play in 2022.
Last year on paper, the Steelers had the hardest schedule in the NFL.
This year, CBS Sports considers the Steelers to have the 12th hardest scheduled in 2022, tied with the Carolina Panthers.
The Bengals have the 3rd hardest schedule after the Rams and Cardinals, the Browns are tied for 17th hardest with the Jets and the Ravens have the 23rd hardest.
The Steelers finished 2nd in the AFC North and that helped set the schedule for next season.
Of course they'll play the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals at home and away.
They'll also play The AFC East next season. They host the New England Patriots and New York Jets and play in Buffalo against the Bills for the second straight seasons and in Miami against the Dolphins.
The Steelers also play the NFC South, With the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming to Heinz Field and away games against the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers.
They'll also play fellow 2021 second place AFC Teams. The Las Vegas Raiders will come to Heinz Field and the Steelers will travel to Indianapolis to play the Colts.
Their 17th game will be on the road next season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
That means every regular season game will be played in the Eastern Time Zone.
