We're 23 days away from the start of Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 training camp in Latrobe. More than just the excitement of hearing about how the new offense is working, rookies are looking, is that camp signals the regular season is right around the corner.

Barring a game or two being flexed, this schedule is the Steelers' pathway to what they hope is their first playoff win since handling the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs in 2016.

How many times are the Pittsburgh Steelers scheduled for prime-time?

The Steelers were granted four nationally televised prime-time games on the initial schedule, not counting Week 18. Later in the season, their games could potentially be flexed to Thursday, Sunday, or Monday night.

The games the Steelers are currently scheduled on prime-time are:

• Sun., Oct. 6: Home vs. the Dallas Cowboys, 8:20 p.m., NBC/Peacock

What Pittsburgh Steelers games are eligible to be flexed to/from prime time?

A tweet from independent NFL reporter René Bugner breaks down all NFL prime-time games with flex potential. The Steelers have just two games that could be flexed from their current spots: Week 5, home versus the Dallas Cowboys and Week 7, hosting the New York Jets.

The NFL doesn't flex Monday Night Football matchups until starting Week 12, so there's no threat to their Week 8 game versus the New York Giants being bumped.

Similarly, flex scheduling for Thursday Night Football starts Week 13, keeping Pittsburgh's Week 12 game against Cleveland in its current slot.
