S³ Schedule Notes
Week 11 bye provides a midseason reset after the brutal Weeks 3–5 opener stretch.
Atlanta gets all six NFC South division games spread throughout the season rather than packed into one stretch.
The Falcons face the Ravens, Chiefs, Lions, 49ers, Bengals, Packers, Vikings, Commanders, and division rival Buccaneers twice.
International trip to Madrid in Week 9 as the designated home team against Cincinnati.
The midseason stretch from Week 8 through Week 15 could determine whether Atlanta is competing for the NFC South title or fighting for a Wild Card spot.
S³ Schedule Rating

A schedule featuring playoff contenders from the AFC North, NFC North, and NFC West, plus an international trip to Spain.
