How to watch and listen to Steelers’ 2025 season-opener against Jets with kickoff time, viewing options, and more
Everything you need to know ahead of Sunday’s opener.
Week 1 of the NFL regular season has arrived, and the Pittsburgh Steelers will be on the road against the New York Jets for what is being viewed as the ultimate revenge game.
The Steelers took down the Jets last year when Rodgers was on the team, making a statement with Russell Wilson in his debut in primetime. Now the tables have turned, and it’s a mix of irony and Deja Vu wrapped into a season opener.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Here is how you can watch the game.

What to watch for
Cam Heyward’s status
There has been a lot of hullabaloo about whether or not the Steelers’ captain will be on the field in Week 1. Mike Tomlin fully believes that he will be out there, saying on Tuesday that he fully expects the All-Pro to be on the field. Cam wasn’t nearly as optimistic, however, saying “we’ll see” when asked by his podcast co-host if he would be out there. I’d bank on him playing.
Aaron Rodgers Debut
After not taking a snap in the preseason, Aaron Rodgers will finally make his debut in the Black and Gold. It was a relatively quiet camp and preseason from Rodgers, and his performance in Latrobe was up and down to say the least.
But now it’s go time. Rodgers will be facing his old team, and the revenge meter will be at an all-time high. I’m not expecting a vintage, MVP Aaron Rodgers kind of performance, but I think his arm talent will flash, and it will be the best a Steelers QB has looked since Ben Roethlisberger.
