The Atlanta Falcons finished the season on a four-game winning streak, but they fell short of the playoffs for the eighth year in a row. The team dismissed head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot, and opted to go in a different direction in 2026.
The Falcons hired Matt Ryan as president of football to lead the search for Morris and Fontenot’s replacements. Ryan and the team’s front office eventually hired Kevin Stefanski as head coach and Ian Cunningham as general manager. While Atlanta still has plenty of work to do this offseason, the 2026 NFL season is just around the corner.
The full schedule has yet to be released, but we know which opponents each team will face next year. Here’s every NFL team’s 2026 strength of schedule (including the Falcons), ranked from most difficult to easiest.
