In 2026, the Falcons will continue to face their familiar foes within the NFC South, playing six games against these divisional rivals—three at home and three away. But it doesn't stop there! They will also be taking on teams from the NFC North and the AFC North, expanding their competitive landscape even further.
Additionally, the Falcons are set to engage in an away game against the Washington Commanders, who also finished third in their division, the NFC East.
