Regular season
2021 opponents
Listed below are the Bengals' opponents for 2021. The length of the season is contingent on whether the league expands the regular season from 16 to 17 games. If this happens, a 17th game would match the Bengals against a interconference opponent from one of the three divisions from the NFC that the Bengals are not scheduled to play in 2021, which will be based on division placement from 2020.[1]
Exact dates and times will be announced in the spring.

| Conference opponents (AFC West) | Kansas City Chiefs Los Angeles Chargers | Denver Broncos Las Vegas Raiders |
