Mark your calendars, Falcons fans—the 2026 season is officially on the horizon. The Atlanta Falcons dropped their full schedule on Thursday night, and it comes with a major international twist that’s sure to get the NFL world buzzing.

Earlier this week, the league confirmed that the Falcons will take their talents across the Atlantic for a historic matchup. In Week 9, Atlanta squares off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid, Spain, on Sunday, Nov. 8, with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. It’s a prime opportunity for the Falcons to make a statement on the global stage and for fans to rally behind their team in a unique setting.

The schedule release itself was anything but ordinary. The team unveiled the slate in a documentary-style video shot inside the Falcons’ office, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the excitement brewing for the upcoming campaign. It’s the kind of creative flair that builds momentum as we count down to kickoff.

Before the regular season heats up, the Falcons will get a tune-up in preseason action. They’ll hit the road to face the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, Aug. 22—a chance to see new faces and familiar stars shake off the rust.

Whether you’re already planning your game-day wardrobe or dreaming of a trip to Madrid, this schedule sets the stage for a season full of potential. Get ready to gear up in your Falcons best—the countdown to 2026 is officially on.
