On Thursday, the NFL released the full 2023 schedule. The Pittsburgh Steelers are always a popular draw with a strong worldwide fanbase so the league is always tempted to put Pittsburgh in as many prime time games as possible.

This season, the league put the Steelers in four games in prime time with six being the max. By comparison, the Los Angeles Chargers lead the league with six games in prime time.

Here is the Steelers full schedule for 2023:

1: vs 49ers
2: vs Browns (MNF)
3: at Raiders (SNF)
4: at Texans
5: vs Baltimore
6: BYE

12: at Bengals
13: vs Cardinals
14: vs Patriots (TNF)
15: at Colts

Pittsburgh gets half of those games out of the way by the third week of the season. After opening the season at home, the Steelers welcome the Cleveland Browns to town for Monday Night Football and then after returning home must fly all the way to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders on Sunday Night Football the following week.
