The day for the Cincinnati Bengals' 2026 schedule to be released is almost here.

The NFL announced last week that the entirety of the 2026 NFL slate will be dropped on Thursday, May 14.

There will be a schedule release show broadcast on both NFL Network and ESPN at 8 p.m. ET that night, but you can get the Bengals' schedule directly from their team website or social media channels.

One of the fun parts about the schedule release is teams coming up with fun ways to reveal theirs.

We'll see what the Bengals and the rest of the NFL have in store for us this year.

Now, what you came for: follow our tracker below for the latest updates on all of the schedule leaks for the Bengals.

Bear in mind, anything labeled as "rumored" has not been confirmed by the league and could end up being wrong.

Bengals 2026 strength of schedule

According to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis, the Bengals have the third-easiest schedule in the NFL, and the easiest slate in the AFC.

Sharp calculates strength of schedule based on win totals from Vegas oddsmakers. That is the superior method over using 2025 opponent win percentage because it more accurately reflects changes teams have made during the offseason.
