Steelers 2022 Schedule Released: Pittsburgh’s 17 Opponents, Game Dates

Here’s who the Steelers will face in the regular season as they navigate a new quarterback era.

It’s time for a new era of Steelers football as the team enters its first season with a new starting quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger’s rookie year in 2004.

Pittsburgh has yet to name its starting quarterback for the 2022 season, but the team has made some big quarterback moves this offseason. 

In March, the Steelers traded for Mitch Trubisky, the former Bills backup. In April, the team drafted Kenny Pickett out of Pittsburgh. The Steelers already had Mason Rudolph on the roster as a backup. He’s played in 17 games in three seasons.

Last season, the Steelers finished second in the AFC North standings with a 9–7–1 record. They lost in their wild-card game vs. the Chiefs.

So, who will Pittsburgh’s new quarterback be playing this year? The Steelers will travel the least out of every NFL team this upcoming season as they are scheduled to only play in the Eastern time zone. Their furthest opponent are the Dolphins, which is about a 17-hour drive from Heinz Field.

Here’s when the Steelers will play each of their 2022 season opponents.
