Even with the Bengals’ three prime time games in the second half of the regular-season, that’s actually the easier half of the Bengals’ 2026 Schedule.
Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero how the Bengals actually have more advantages in the second half of the regular season as opposed to the first half. The first half of the schedule features a lot of road trips and division games, including three teams in the first four weeks that made the Playoffs last year.
In addition, the Bengals’ much-improved offensive line will face a stiff test right out of the gate against the Buccaneers, Texans, and Steelers, who all have stout defensive fronts.
Speaking of prime time games, the Bengals have three this season. Two of them are at home… against AFC North opponents. Finally, the Bengals get the advantage of having prime time home games against their biggest rivals.

The Bengals are going overseas this season to play the Falcons in Madrid, but they won’t get a bye week afterwards. Alex and Coach discuss if this is actually not a bad thing, considering a key advantage the Bengals have in the second half of the regular season.
