Steelers announce 2014 preseason schedule

Generally speaking NFL teams a free to schedule their home and away games during the preseason (the exception is the Hall of Fame game), so it will come as no surprise who the Steelers' opponents will be during the preseason: New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, and Carolina Panthers. The actual dates have not been announced.

The Steelers will play at the Giants and at the Eagles, and will face the Bills and Panthers at Heinz Field.

The Steelers faced the Giants and Panthers last season (along with games versus Kansas City and Washington), and played on the road in Philadelphia and Carolina in 2012.
