Hide your pizza rolls and your pee-wee footballs. The Cincinnati Bengals’ schedule for the 2024 season is officially here, and a cast of fun-sized footballers has helped seal the deal in this newly-released video.
In what has become a league-wide tradition to reveal the 17-game slate, the Bengals premiered their schedule release video on X (formerly known as Twitter) Wednesday night. The video features a crew of young athletes playing a game against a tribe of Bengals mascots in the team’s official indoor practice facility.

Plenty of kid-friendly special effects make their way into the mascot football game, including a tackle made with an electric guitar and a couple plays cut short thanks to the use of a magic portal and a lasso. Throughout the video, NFL fans might spot a couple semi-subtle jabs at opposing teams (did you spot the Kermit the Frog cameo right ahead of the baby-Bengals’ week 2 standoff against the Chiefs?).
Most importantly, the video concludes with a PSA that no kids were harmed in the making of this much-anticipated schedule release.
