What a way to start the season, right? The Falcons will kick off their 2022 regular season hosting their biggest rival, the Saints. This might be the longest “Hate Week” in team history, as Falcons fans and Saints fans trash talk each other over the next several months. Following the first game, the Falcons will then travel out west and face the defending Super Bowl champion Rams. That should be an interesting test for the team early on in the season.

You’ll notice a couple dates labeled “TBD” because, the dates and times are apparently up in the air still and will be decided as those key games get closer. For now though, the Falcons only have one prime time game in 2022, when they take on the Panthers in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football.
