Regular season

2021 opponents

Listed below are the Falcons' opponents for 2021. The length of the season is contingent on whether the league expands the regular season from 16 to 17 games. If this happens, a 17th game would match the Falcons against a interconference opponent from one of the three divisions from the AFC that the Falcons are not scheduled to play in 2021, which will be based on division placement from 2020.[1]

Exact dates and times will be announced in the spring.
