The wait is almost over. The NFL will officially unveil the full 2025 regular season schedule tonight, and for the Atlanta Falcons, that means locking in the dates, times, and national windows for one of the most highly anticipated seasons in recent franchise history.
Fresh off a busy offseason and a second-place finish in the NFC South, the Falcons already know who they’ll be playing — a slate that was finalized the moment the 2024 regular season wrapped. What fans are eager to see now is when and where the biggest matchups will happen.
Atlanta’s second-place divisional finish sets up a similarly ranked schedule across the conference, giving them several tough draws from other divisions while still capitalizing on games against lower-tier teams. Throw in a trip overseas and a handful of prime-time showdowns, and the 2025 campaign is shaping up to be anything but ordinary.
Falcons’ 2025 opponents
Home games: New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders, Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins
Road games: Saints, Panthers, Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts
