That will change on Thursday night.
The NFL is unveiling its schedule with way more pomp and circumstance than that unveiling demands starting at 8 p. m. on Thursday, with schedule leaks likely to trickle out throughout Wednesday and Thursday.
The only thing we know for certain about the schedule thus far is that the Falcons are going to be playing a game in Madrid, Spain, but the schedule will tell us who they’re playing, how many primetime games they have lined up, and when their bye week is. As a reminder, we have the list of opponents . The Falcons will draw their usual complement of divisional games and will face playoff-caliber squads like the Bears, 49ers, Packers, and Chiefs, in addition to some would-be contenders coming off shakier years in the Ravens, Bengals, Lions, Vikings, and Commanders.
We likely won’t have to wait very long to find out if this Falcons team has any juice in 2026.
