Atlanta Falcons Release 2022 Schedule: What Games Stand Out? - All Games, Dates, Times

Mark your calendars! The Falcons' 2022 schedule is here.

Jeremy Brener | May 12, 2022

The Atlanta Falcons schedule for the 2022 season is officially out. Last season, the Falcons went 7-10 in the first 17-game season in NFL history.

Here's a look at the Falcons' schedule for the upcoming season:

Kyle Pitts

Desmond Ridder

Week 1 vs. Saints - September 11, 1 p.m.

The Falcons start off the season against the New Orleans Saints. Last season, the NFC South rivals split their two meetings.

Week 2 @ Rams - September 18, 4:05 p.m.

The Falcons face the defending champions early in their schedule. Downside for the Falcons as the Rams will have a few days extra rest playing after the Thursday Night Football season opener.

Week 3 @ Seahawks - September 25, 4:25 p.m.

Week 4 vs. Browns - October 2, 1 p.m.

The Falcons might face Deshaun Watson, who the team tried to acquire in the offseason, so long as he doesn't face a suspension longer than three games.

Week 5 @ Buccaneers - October 9, 1 p.m.

Week 6 vs. 49ers - October 16, 1 p.m.

Week 7 @ Bengals - October 23, 1 p.m.

The Falcons face the reigning AFC Champions in Week 7.

Week 8 vs. Panthers - October 30, 1 p.m.

Week 9 vs. Chargers - November 6, 1 p.m.

Week 10 @ Panthers - November 10, 8:15 p.m. (Thursday Night Football)

The lone primetime game scheduled for the Falcons, and it comes against the NFC South rival Panthers.

Week 11 vs. Bears - November 20, 1 p.m.

Week 12 @ Commanders - November 27, 1 p.m.

Week 13 vs. Steelers - December 4, 1 p.m.

Week 14 - BYE

Marcus Mariota

Tyler Allgeier

Week 15 @ Saints - December 17/18, TBD

Week 16 @ Ravens - December 24, 1 p.m.

Week 17 vs. Cardinals - January 1, 1 p.m.

Week 18 vs. Buccaneers - January 7/8, TBD

Two home games to close out the season is always nice, but facing two playoff teams from a year ago could pose a challenge at season's end if the Falcons are contending for the playoffs.
