The 2018 Ben-Gals cheerleaders have been officially announced. This year's squad features many new faces in addition to returning veterans.

The Ben-Gals perform at Bengals home games and participate in numerous community events throughout the year.

"We want to make this an experience that is unforgettable, an experience that is like a sisterhood," said Director of Cheerleading Charlotte Simons. "Most importantly, we feel very passionate about being ambassadors and representatives of this awesome organization. In representing the organization, we are also representing the city and the community."

The Ben-Gals will take the field for the first time during the Bengals' preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. The Ben-Gals' first regular season performance will be at the home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 8:20 p.m. in a nationally televised Thursday Night Football game on NFL Network.
