Steelers Home Games to Watch

Their 2026 opponents are highlighted by the South Divisions. The AFC North is set to face teams from both the AFC and NFC South Divisions.

That means the Steelers will welcome the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers of the NFC South and the Indianapolis Colts to Acrisure Stadium. In addition, the Steelers will get their rematch with the Houston Texans on home field as well.

Another exciting home contest to watch for is when the Denver Broncos come to town. One of the best defenses in football and a top team in the AFC in 2025, the Steelers will try to unseat one of the new conference powerhouses.

Marquee Road Contests

The road games the Steelers will play in 2026 are an exciting collection. In addition to visiting their AFC North rivals, they will take a trip south to take on Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Steelers will also be able to test their new head coach with a trip to Gillette Stadium for a meeting with the New England Patriots. Armed with MVP candidate quarterback Drake Maye, they will be a challenging test for Pittsburgh.

They’ll also travel across the state of Pennsylvania for a meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams will have some new members to their coaching staff and embracing some changes as they battle for the crown of best team in PA.
