"Well, with the Atlanta Falcons victory (and sweep) of the New Orleans Saints in Week 18, the season comes to an end for the struggling Falcons who finish with a below .500 record for the eighth consecutive year. Prior to Week 18, it was unclear who the remaining Falcons opponents would be in 2026, as it's officially set according to divisional standings."
"The full schedule won't be released for a few of months, but ith the Week 18 games over, we now know the full list of opponents the Falcons will face in 2026, and which games will be played at home and on the road. One of the Falcons' home games will be part of next season's international series, but we don't yet know which game, which opponent, or which week. Let's take a look at what we do know."
"We knew 14 of their opponents heading into Week 18, but the new additions to the Falcons 2026 schedule are home games against the Kansas City Chief and San Francisco 49ers, and a road matchup against the Washington Commanders. These games were decided by how all four teams finished in their respective divisions, third place. Doing some early predictions of the schedule, it looks tough."
The Atlanta Falcons concluded the season after defeating the New Orleans Saints in Week 18, finishing below .500 for the eighth consecutive year. Before Week 18 the remaining 2026 opponents were unclear because divisional standings determine certain matchups. With Week 18 complete the full list of 2026 opponents and home/away designations is established. One Falcons home game will be part of next season's international series, though the specific opponent, week, and location remain unspecified. New additions to the 2026 schedule are home games against the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers and a road game at the Washington Commanders, assigned based on third-place divisional finishes. Early assessments rate the 2026 slate as challenging, featuring several recent playoff teams and presumed contenders.
