Pittsburgh Steelers schedule: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2025 season

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense is making a colossal shift in 2025.

The quarterback room has been overhauled. They moved on from veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

They brought back former third-round pick Mason Rudolph in free agency. They also drafted Will Howard from Ohio State in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

In early March, Pittsburgh acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks. They didn't stop there, trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a package that includes a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Aaron Rodgers may still sign with the team, as he was spotted training with Metcalf earlier in the offseason. However, there have been no recent updates regarding his decision.

So how will that new-look offense stack up against Pittsburgh's 2025 slate? Here’s a look at the schedule for the Steelers in 2025.

Steelers record prediction 2025

Record prediction: 8-9

All signs point toward the Steelers' historic run of finishes at .500 or better ending in 2025.

The AFC North is a challenging division each season. Currently, the Ravens are the team to beat, led by the dynamic duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. The Bengals have one of the best offenses in the NFL and can compete with anyone. Fortunately for Pittsburgh, the Browns are currently in a more complex rebuild.

Some still expect Aaron Rodgers to sign with the Steelers, but in order to predict the Steelers' record for 2025, we need to focus on the players who are currently on the roster. Considering their current quarterbacks, it may be challenging for the team to maintain regular-season success in the upcoming season.

Pittsburgh boasts a strong defensive lineup, highlighted by perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate T.J. Watt. He, along with Cam Heyward, Alex Highsmith, Patrick Queen, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Joey Porter Jr., form the team's core. With the 21st overall pick in the first round, the Steelers selected defensive tackle Derrick Harmon to strengthen the unit further.

They have a championship-caliber defense, but the offense could struggle mightily.

To make matters worse, Pittsburgh has the 24th-hardest schedule in 2025, per Sharp Football Analysis. That said, a team coached by Mike Tomlin can never be counted out.

The Steelers face challenging road matchups against the Lions and Chargers. Additionally, they will play at Soldier Field against a Bears team expected to show significant improvement. At home, they will host the Bills, Dolphins, Packers and Vikings, teams that likely have the upper hand.

Overall, the Steelers' 2025 schedule does not offer many easy victories. However, they will likely compete with their run-heavy offense, supported by their strong defense.
