As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to kick off their 2025 preseason against the Philadelphia Eagles, anticipation bubbles for what might unfold come Thursday night. With the Bengals donning their black jerseys, white pants with orange stripes, and orange socks—an ensemble they've sported with a 7-4 record—the team is set to make a sartorial statement under the Philadelphia lights, according to the Cincinnati Bengals' official website.
The preseason opener, slated for August 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET, also marks a notable rematch of last season's regular game. The Eagles clinched victory then with a decisive 37-17 score and will be hosting the Bengals this time around, as they play on their home turf for the first time since their Super Bowl win in February.
For fans unable to attend the game in person, various options are available to catch the action. The Bengals Preseason TV Network will televise the game across several markets, including Cincinnati’s WXIX (FOX19) and Columbus’ WSYX (ABC6). At the same time, streaming options are available through Bengals.com, the Bengals app, NFL+, and NFL Game Pass International for certain regions, per AtoZSports.
Calling the game on television, we have Mike Watts delivering play-by-play narratives, with Hall of Famer Anthony Muñoz adding his expertise as the analyst, and team reporter Marissa Contipelli covering the sidelines. On the radio side, listeners will hear the familiar voices of Dan Hoard and 2025 Ring of Honor inductee Dave Lapham, as they provide play-by-play and analysis, respectively, through the Bengals Radio Network, which covers WCKY (1530), WEBN-FM (102.7), and WLW700, according to AtoZSports.
