It’s hard to believe, but the start of the 2023 NFL season is less than two months away. Last season, Bengals fans were treated to another exciting Super Bowl push that ultimately ended in a disappointing clash with AFC rivals the Kansas City Chiefs.
But the biggest fans don’t restrain their enthusiasm in the offseason. For the die-hards, the upcoming Bengals Open Training Camp days will fill the void until the season kicks off.
This year, the Bengals will host fans during 10 live practices in July and August, plus four more for season-ticket holders and wait list members. A special family-friendly event also takes place at Paycor Stadium for Bengals Back Together Weekend.
For those who can’t make it to Bengals training camp, over a dozen Ohio sportsbooks are already offering futures bets, including AFC North champion, Super Bowl champs and season-long player props and awards.
Here are the best ways to check out the 2023 Bengals at training camp ahead of what is sure to be another exciting year for Bengals Nation. Who dey!
