Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he will retire after the 2026 NFL season. "Yes. This is it." Rodgers said when asked whether the upcoming season would be his last.

Rodgers is entering the season as the starting quarterback for the Steelers. The team finished the 2025 season with a 10-7 record and lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The Steelers enter the 2026 season under new leadership. Mike Tomlin is no longer the team's head coach, and the franchise hired Mike McCarthy to lead the team.

Michael Pittman Jr. is slated as the No. 2 receiver for the Steelers in 2026. Pittman joins a Pittsburgh offense that will be directed by Rodgers in what Rodgers has said will be his final season. McCarthy will coach the team as it attempts to improve on its 10-7 record and first-round playoff exit from 2025. Rodgers, who is the starting quarterback, has confirmed the 2026 season will be his last in the NFL.
