The Atlanta Falcons<\/a> 2026 NFL schedule is set to be revealed in the middle of May, but no official date has been set yet. Even though we know each team’s full list of regular season opponents, the league seems intent on making the schedule release into an event on par with the draft.<\/p>\n

While that may not be a realistic goal, all 32 NFL teams have treated it that way over the last few years. Gone are the days of a simple list of opponents and dates. Now, every team puts out their own custom schedule release video with a unique theme.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Falcons released a Mario Kart-themed schedule release video in which the players were transformed into video game characters.<\/p>\n

For now, though, the list of opponents will have to do. Here’s a look at each team on the Falcons’ schedule, divided into home and away games (dates and order or games TBD).<\/p>\n
