Pittsburgh Steelers host New York Jets in NFL preseason game
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to host the New York Jets for an NFL preseason game at Acrisure Stadium on Friday, August 21, 2026. The matchup is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on NFL Network.
The Steelers enter the contest with a 1-0 preseason record following a 28-9 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Drew Allar, who recorded three touchdowns in the opener, is expected to see significant playing time alongside rookie Will Howard.
The Jets hold a 0-1 preseason record after a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the team is expected to field much of its first-team offense, running back Breece Hall is likely to sit out due to a groin injury, potentially giving Braelon Allen more opportunities.
