The Steelers’ Week 11 trip to Philadelphia is getting an earlier start.
The NFL announced Monday that Pittsburgh’s game against the Eagles on Nov. 22 has been flexed from the 4:25 p.m. ET window to 1 p.m.
ET. The league also moved Jaguars-Giants into the later slot, shifting that kickoff to 4:25 p.m.
ET.
That change gives the Steelers three games in the 1 p.m. ET window during the second half of the season, with Week 11 now joining Weeks 15 and 17.
Pittsburgh also has three primetime games on the back end of the schedule in Weeks 10, 13 and 14, plus a Black Friday matchup against the Broncos in Week 12 that is set for 3 p.m. ET.
The Steelers’ next game comes Sunday, Nov. 15, when they visit the Bengals at 8:20 p.m. ET. That AFC North game will be played at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.
Pittsburgh still has two late-season dates without finalized kickoff details. The Steelers are set to face Carolina in Week 16 and Baltimore in Week 18, but the dates and start times for those games have not yet been locked in.
Here’s how the Steelers’ 2026 schedule looks so far:

Steelers Debate Just Got Louder Around Aaron Rodgers And The Deadline
The Steelers have spent much of the season looking like a team with real playoff ambitions, and former offensive coordinator Todd Haley thinks the roster is close enough to justify a more aggressive push. His view is simple: Pittsburgh has the kind of foundation that can matter in January, but it still needs another offensive playmaker to make the whole operation more dangerous, especially with Aaron Rodgers in place to steer the offense.
Haley also took aim at the clubs quiet approach at the NFL trade deadline, pointing to the Jacksonville Jaguars as an example of a team willing to act decisively to strengthen its roster. For Pittsburgh, the debate now is less about whether it can contend and more about whether it did enough to help Rodgers and the offense make a deeper postseason run. [Read more 🡒]
Steelers Are Earning Real Respect With Bengals Test Looming
The Steelers spent their bye week in a good place, riding four straight wins into first place in the AFC North and drawing a noticeable bump in national respect along the way. Across a handful of NFL media power rankings, Pittsburgh landed anywhere from No. 7 to No. 13, a range that reflects both the strength of its defense and the sense that this team has earned a real seat at the table.
Pittsburgh also managed to hold steady through the week off, with no outlet dropping the Steelers in its rankings as the attention shifts to Sunday Night Football against the Bengals. It is the kind of matchup that can say plenty about where the Steelers really stand, especially with a division rival waiting and the stakes rising fast in the race at the top of the AFC North.

T.J. Watt Has Steelers Defense Looking Dangerous Again
T.J. Watt has put himself right back at the center of the Steelers defensive conversation, and it is easy to see why. Several Pittsburgh analysts have already pegged him as the teams midseason Defensive Player of the Year, pointing to his relentless pressure off the edge and the way he keeps changing games even when he is not finishing every play himself. Under coordinator Patrick Graham, the defense has started to look more like the unit Pittsburgh expects, and Watt has been a major reason for that turn.
He has not been doing it alone, either. Cam Heyward has remained a steady force up front, Keeanu Benton has added another layer inside, and Jalen Ramsey has given the secondary a more dangerous feel. Still, Watt is the one setting the tone, and the bigger question for the Steelers is how high this defense can climb if he keeps driving it the way he has so far. [Read more 🡒]
