Steelers 2021 Opponents Finalized

The Steelers are still forging their way through the 2020-21 season, with their first playoff game scheduled for Sunday night at Heinz Field against the Cleveland Browns.

But with the close of the 2020 regular season on Sunday, the Steelers also had their opponents for the 2021 season finalized.

The Steelers will have their usual six games against AFC North foes Baltimore, Cincinnati and Cleveland.

They will play the four teams from the AFC West, with the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos coming to Pittsburgh and the Steelers playing the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs on the road.

The Steelers will also face the other two 2020 AFC division winners, the Buffalo Bills on the road and the Tennessee Titans at home.

The four crossover games with the NFC will involve the NFC North, with the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions coming to Heinz Field and the Steelers going on the road to play the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.

It has also been reported that the NFL may add a 17th game to the 2021 schedule. It’s unclear how that addition could impact the schedule matrix.
