Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Atlanta Falcons' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When do the Atlanta Falcons play next?

The Atlanta Falcons' next game is at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Oct 11. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.

When is the Atlanta Falcons' bye week in 2026?

Week 11, between Nov 15 and Nov 29. That week is a gap in the row on the grid — a bye, not missing data.

How many games do the Atlanta Falcons play in 2026?

17 regular-season games: 9 at home (8 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, 1 at Bernabeu) and 8 away, from Sep 13 to Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC South opponents. The playoffs are not included.

Do the Atlanta Falcons play outside North America in 2026?

Yes — one game: Bernabeu on Nov 8. It keeps the league's own calendar date, and the kick-off converts to your timezone like any other game on this page.

What time do the Atlanta Falcons' games start in my timezone?

Every kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NFL publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a Sunday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Monday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
