Last season’s “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders will get a preseason rematch next week on a Monday night in August this time around.

Cincinnati hosted Washington in Week 3 of the 2024 regular season and lost a shootout, 38-33. The night came to be known as Jayden Daniels’ coming out party as the eventual Offensive Rookie of the Year outpaced the Bengals’ high-powered offense. That same offense led by Joe Burrow is going to see close to a full first-half of football in Northwest Stadium.

Kickoff is scheduled for Aug. 18, at 8:00 p.m. ET. Here is how you can watch the game.
