Bengals 2021 schedule: Everything to know

17 games awaits a hopeful and hungry Bengals team.

Contributors: Cincy Jungle Staff

Just a few months separate us from the return of Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals football.

Free agency and the NFL Draft are behind us, which means it’s time to learn what the Bengals’ schedule for the 2021 season looks like.

We know the opponents for the first 17-game schedule in league history, and we know the Bengals will have nine home games for the first time ever as well, we just don’t know when they’ll be playing each team yet.

On Wednesday morning, the league announced the Week 1 slate of games, which has the Bengals hosting the Minnesota Vikings for a Sunday afternoon inter-conference matchup. Several leaks have given us more information, but we won’t know the full schedule until Wednesday night at 7:45 pm ET .

Will the Bengals have another AFC North primetime game? When will their bye week occur? These are the questions this thread was made for. For all the latest news, rumors, and analysis of the Bengals’ 2021 schedule, check out the stories below!
