PITTSBURGH — The Steelers will play five nationally televised primetime games, including the first game of the league’s Kickoff Weekend, it was announced today when the NFL released its 2009 regular-season schedule.

The Steelers will kick off the 2009 NFL season at Heinz Field against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 8:30 p.m. on NBC.

The Cleveland game will be broadcast on NFL Network.

“It is always exciting, and an honor, to be the team that kicks off the NFL season at home,” said Steelers President Art Rooney II. “Our fans in Pittsburgh and around the world are going to enjoy watching us pursue another Super Bowl championship against some very challenging competition.”

In addition to the Steelers’ two home primetime games, Pittsburgh will play six additional contests at Heinz Field, including consecutive home games Sunday, Oct. 18 vs. Cleveland (1 p.m.) and Sunday, Oct. 25 vs. Minnesota (1 p.m.).
