Game preview

Colts at Steelers: plan your October 11 visit

Advance guide checked October 3, 2026. Indianapolis visits Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, October 11, for a 1 p.m. EDT kickoff. Pittsburgh and Indianapolis share that local time. Elsewhere, that is noon CDT, 11 a.m. MDT, 10 a.m. PDT, 17:00 UTC and 6 p.m. BST.

Watching and listening

CBS is the scheduled U.S. broadcaster. This is a regional Sunday-afternoon game, so check whether your local CBS station has Colts–Steelers. Paramount+ carries the local CBS game across supported devices. Eligible U.S. viewers outside the game’s local market can use NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV, subject to its restrictions. NFL+ live local regular-season video is limited to phones and tablets.

The Pittsburgh radio outlets are WDVE 102.5 FM and WBGG 970 AM; geographical restrictions apply to the live Steelers Nation Radio game stream. The game-specific coverage map and announcing crew are not confirmed here. Recheck local listings during game week; the U.S. options above do not establish international availability.

Choose the route before choosing the parking spot

The Colts–Steelers event schedule lists parking opening at 8 a.m., will call at 10 a.m. and stadium gates at 11 a.m., all EDT. Plan around gate opening rather than reaching the North Shore just before kickoff.

• Driving: Match your navigation to the lot on your pass, not merely the stadium’s street address. The parking and directions guide separates pre-sold lots from card-only event-day parking and offers alternate approaches around I-279 Exit 1B congestion. Champions Garage uses a mobile parking pass and does not allow tailgating inside. Check the operator’s current availability and instructions before setting out.
• Downtown parking plus rail: The T serves Allegheny Station at Allegheny Avenue and Reedsdale Street, and North Side Station beneath the West General Robinson Street Garage. Trips wholly between First Avenue and Allegheny stations, including Gateway and Wood Street, are in the light-rail Free Fare Zone. Travel beyond that zone is subject to the applicable fare. Check October 11 service updates and your return connection before leaving.

Test your admission ticket before leaving home

In the Steelers App, open Tickets, then My Tickets, select this game and save the tickets to Apple or Google Wallet. Screenshots and home printouts are not valid admission tickets. Transfer tickets in advance when members of your party will arrive separately. A wallet ticket displaying “hold near reader” is valid; Android users should have NFC enabled.

The current mobile-ticket guide flags issues on some older Android devices. Test access now and call 412-323-1200 if needed. On game day, Customer Service windows on Art Rooney Avenue open three hours before kickoff, at 10 a.m. for this game. Saving tickets ahead of time reduces dependence on a busy cellular connection at the gates.

Pack for one entry

The clear-bag rules allow a clear bag up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches or a one-gallon clear freezer bag. A non-clear bag up to 4.5 × 6.5 inches is also allowed, regardless of its style. Medically necessary items, including those in diaper bags, can receive an exception after inspection. Rejected items must go back to your vehicle or be disposed of; do not count on storage at the gate.

Ordinary exit and re-entry are not permitted. If a medical emergency requires leaving, speak to Guest Services at Gate B first. Bring a card or mobile wallet for the cashless venue. Cash can be loaded onto a prepaid debit card at the interior ticket window in the FedEx Great Hall, but an activation fee applies and that window closes after halftime.

Accessibility: a date to act on now

For an accessible-seat relocation, the stadium accessibility FAQ requests submission at least one week before the event: October 4 for this October 11 game. Relocations depend on availability, with no guaranteed section or platform. If the deadline is missed, Guest Services can check event-day overflow options. Bring photo ID and your original purchased ticket when collecting an approved relocation.

Plan the drop-off as well as the seat. Accessible drop-off points are at Art Rooney Avenue and Reedsdale Street by Gate B, and on North Shore Drive opposite the Kamin Science Center. Stadium wheelchairs are limited, should be requested at least a week ahead and cannot be taken outside the gates. The A–Z accessibility information explains wheelchair and sensory-kit arrangements; ask about support before making the trip.

Finally, injury labels elsewhere on this page may still describe an earlier game. Check the teams’ Week 5 practice reports and game-day inactive lists for October 11 availability, and check weather close to departure.
