Mentioned in this story
The Atlanta Falcons will find out their full 2026 NFL schedule when the league officially releases it tonight at 8 p.m. ET. However, thanks to the power of the internet, a few of the games have been leaked. While fans were aware of the team's Week 9 International Series matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, three more games have been revealed.
In Week 1, the Falcons will reportedly face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. The Steelers are playing the usual "wait for Aaron Rodgers to decide if he wants to play" game, but there's no clear indication if he will or not. Atlanta lost to the Steelers in the 2024 season opener.
Then in Week 8, the Falcons will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Falcons split the season series with the Buccaneers last season. Both were close games that were decided by three or less points.
Finally, the third leak was a Week 15 game against the Washington Commanders on the road. The Falcons have faced the Commanders in each of the last two seasons. Michael Penix Jr. has played some of his best football against the Washington.
Check out what we know of the Falcons' schedule thus far below.
