The NFL has officially released the dates and times of the entire 2023 preseason schedule.
We've known the opponents and locations for all three of the Cincinnati Bengals' preseason slate. The Bengals will face three NFC teams, including one they played most recently last season.
Since the Bengals will have nine home games during the regular season, they'll have just one exhibition at Paycor Stadium this Summer, with the other two games being on the road.
Bengals 2023 Preseason Schedule
- Week 1 vs. Green Bay Packers, August 11 at 7:00pm ET
- Week 2 @ Atlanta Falcons, August 18th at 7:30pm ET
- Week 3 @ Washington Commanders, August 26th at 6:05pm ET
The Bengals' preseason opener will be on a Friday night against the Packers. With the next two games being away, and Week 1 of the regular season also on the road, the Bengals will be playing outside of Cincinnati for more than a month.
Week 2 at Atlanta will also be on Friday evening. Cincinnati is one of three clubs this year to have multiple Friday night preseason games along with Atlanta and Carolina. These games could also feature the most action Joe Burrow has ever had in August.
The preseason concludes with a Saturday evening game against the Commanders, when bottom of the roster battles will be decided around the league.
Cincinnati did not get assigned a nationally televised preseason game this year.
