It was previously reported by the team in April that the Falcons did plan on traveling overseas to host a game next season. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has still loomed large so things remained uncertain until the Falcons’ official 2021 schedule is released.
The NFL is set to release their full schedule on Wednesday, along with the rest of the teams in the league.
The Falcons first traveled to London for a game against the Lions in 2014. That contest was held at Wembley Stadium. The 2021 matchup will be located at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Home opponents on the Falcons’ 2021 schedule include divisional rivals Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as the Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Football Team.
