A 25-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs not only eliminated the Cincinnati Bengals from playoff contention, it locked them in for last place in the AFC North.
That means we know exactly which teams the Bengals will face in the 2024 regular season.
On top of the six games they'll play against AFC North rivals, the Bengals will face 11 other clubs from the AFC West, NFC East, and a few more that also finished last in their respective divisions.
Check out the full list of 2024 opponents below.
In 2024, AFC teams will have just eight home games compared to nine road games. Each AFC North squad will also play one game against an NFC South team, which is why the Bengals will play the Panthers for their extra road game.
The Bengals could also play in an international contest if they're selected for one. Cincinnati "hosted" Washington in London back in 2016, the last time the Commanders were scheduled to play a road game against the Bengals. Cincinnati would play Washington in Paycor Stadium for the first time since 2008 if it stays in the States.
We'll learn the dates of these games when the full 2024 NFL schedule is released in the Spring.
