ravens vs steelers week 18 kickoff time revealed

The Baltimore Ravens will be waiting all day for Sunday night in Week 18 of the regular season when they visit the Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC North title. One of the league's top rivalries has taken center stage for the league to close out the regular season because the game will be the deciding factor in who wins the AFC North. The Ravens did their part in Week 17 by beating the Green Bay Packers on the road at Lambeau Field, while the Steelers couldn't clinch the division on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Here's a look at the full Week 18 schedule: Full Week 18 schedule: pic.twitter.com/HEr8LX6emJ The NFL has released the date and time of the Steelers Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The game will be played on Sunday, January 4 at 8:20 p.m. at Acrisure Stadium. The game will air on NBC's Sunday Night Football. This will be the second time the two teams will face each other this season. The Steelers won a Week 14 matchup at M&T Bank Stadium, 27-22. The Steelers lead the all-time regular season series, 34-25, including winning four of the last five in Pittsburgh.

The game has major postseason implications. If the Steelers win, they will secure the AFC North championship and the fourth seed in the AFC. "It's for everything this week," said defensive tackle Cameron Heyward. "You don't have to look around. You don't have to wait for somebody else to play. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will play in the most consequential game on the NFL schedule in Week 18 — and they’re getting the prime spot for it.

The Steelers lost to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, which combined with Baltimore’s win on Saturday sets up a winner-take-all game in the season finale. The winner will take the AFC North and head into the playoffs as the No. 4 seed with a home game, while the loser will head home for the offseason. After Sunday’s game between the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers, the league announced that the Ravens and Steelers will kick off in the final regular-season game of the 2025 season. The NFL usually reserves Sunday night of Week 18 for the game with the highest stakes, and there is nothing bigger than the showdown between the Steelers and Ravens. As Jack Markowski of SI.com reported, the AFC North winner will be determined in that final time slot.

“With the AFC North on the line, as the winner will earn the division title while the loser will be eliminated from the playoffs altogether, the two teams will play under the bright lights... “Kick-off is set for 8:20 p.m. EST on Jan. 4, and coverage will air on NBC.” The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are set to meet for the AFC North title in Week 18 at Acrisure Stadium. Baltimore's Week 17 win over the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh's loss to the Cleveland Browns set the course for this title game.

The Ravens looked completely dead after their defeat ot the New England Patriots in Week 16, but John Harbaugh's squad battled back this week and is just a win away from the postseason. That said, we didn't know when the Steelers versus Ravens game was going to take place until now. Pittsburgh and Baltimore will play on Sunday Night Football in Week 18 on Jan. 4 to decide the winner of the AFC North.

The Steelers will be playing at home in Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium with the division title on the line. There’s no Monday Night Football game Week 18, making the AFC North game the final matchup of the week.

— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) December 29, 2025 The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for Week 18 of the regular season, and their opponent is known. They’ll play host to the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North division crown, but the day and time of the game has been unknown the entire season. This is a yearly affair with the NFL and how they hand pick their games in Week 18 and their day and times. The NFL wants drama in the prime time slots, and they love to keep the competitive balance even between teams who might be vying for a postseason berth. When there are teams across multiple games fighting for seeding, there is typically a strong likelihood they will all be playing at the same time to keep things even.

After Week 17 has concluded all but the Monday night game, the NFL has finally announced the day/time for the Week 18 slate of games. The Steelers and Ravens will square off Sunday night in prime time at Acrisure Stadium. Our Week 18 game against the Ravens will be played on Sunday, January 4 at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. 📝: https://t.co/tUHjcSKW8b pic.twitter.com/GdAjjQmrdf The Pittsburgh Steelers still control their own playoff destiny following Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns, needing a Week 18 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the regular-season finale to earn themselves a spot...
