The Cincinnati Bengals enter the 2026 preseason seeking defensive improvement after a disappointing 2025 campaign.
Cincinnati's defense ranked 27th in points allowed per drive last season, prompting offseason additions at key positions to support second-year coordinator Al Golden. This includes domineering defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, via a trade with the Giants in the offseason.
Offensively, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase provide elite firepower capable of making a deep postseason run whenever Burrow is healthy.
The Bengals have reached at least the AFC Championship Game in both seasons Burrow played full playoff runs. Tee Higgins and Chase Brown return to round out the offense, too.
Here's everything you need to know to watch every Bengals preseason game in 2026.
