NFL Announces Steelers vs. Ravens Game Time

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will match up one final time in the regular season, closing out their 2023 campaign in Week 18 on Saturday, January 6 at 4:30 p.m. ET, the NFL announced.

The Steelers will need a win over the Ravens in Week 18 to have a shot at claiming a wildcard spot in the playoffs. Following their Week 17 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh is relying on themselves, plus a victory by the Tennessee Titans over the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Miami Dolphins over the Buffalo Bills.

Buffalo versus Miami is set for Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET. 

Meanwhile, the Ravens have locked in the top seed in the AFC, making Week 18 against the Steelers one they may overlook. Instead of their first-team players taking the field, Baltimore could send their backups out in the regular season finale to face Pittsburgh - giving the Steelers a lift as they fight for a wildcard seed. 

The Steelers are 1-0 against the Ravens this season, defeating them 17-10 in Week 5.
