The Steelers will open the postseason on the road against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in the AFC Wild Card Round.
The date and time of the game, and the network it airs on, has yet to be announced by the NFL.
The Steelers, who are the sixth seed, and Ravens, who are the third seed, split the regular season series this year, with both teams winning at home.
The Steelers are 3-1 against the Ravens all-time in the postseason.
The Steelers are in the postseason for the 34th time in team history.
The Steelers, who own a 36-27 all-time record in the postseason, are now ranked third overall in playoff berths in NFL history, breaking a tie with the New York Giants, who have 33 playoff berths.
This is the 11th time under Coach Mike Tomlin that the Steelers have earned a playoff berth. He has led them to seven AFC North titles, three AFC Championship games and twice led them to a Super Bowl appearance, including winning Super Bowl XLIII.
