Saints Schedule Release: Tracker, Rumors, and Reactions

The Saints schedule drops today, so keep it tuned here for some leaks, rumors, and reactions to all the madness.

We already know who the Saints will play in 2022, but we'll find out when they play their opponents when the NFL schedule releases on Thursday. There's been some game announcements from the league, but the only one we have confirmed for New Orleans is the Week 4 matchup against the Vikings in London.

The team will get their first look at the schedule in the morning, but it won't be officially released until 7 p.m. CT. Teams will be able to announce their first home game at 6 p.m. CT. We'll undoubtedly get some leaks throughout the day, so be sure to check back periodically with our yearly tracker.

We got some early leaks from NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill, but have since confirmed the schedule and have added the extra games.
