Which teams will the Atlanta Falcons play against in 2024? Here’s a look at each opponent and winning percentage on ATL’s 2024 schedule
The Falcons have finished three consecutive seasons with a record of 7-10, and they’ve consistently struggled against inferior teams. Even with the easiest schedule in the NFL last year, Atlanta couldn’t find a way to win a wide-open NFC South.
Fortunately for the Falcons, they will once again have the lowest overall strength of schedule 2024. Here’s a look at each opponent that Atlanta will play against next season, with each team’s 2023 winning percentage.
No Europe #Bills in 2024:
The NFL designated four home teams out of the five international games taking place in the 2024 NFL season.
The league will play three games in England, one game in Germany, and one game in Brazil next year.
The Buffalo Bills’ full list of opponents in 2024 was finalized following the end of this year’s regular season. Buffalo was considered the “home” team when they played the Jacksonville Jaguars in October in London. Bills players did not enjoy that game with multiple injuries and jet lag decimating Buffalo’s chance to win against the Jaguars in their international home game at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium.
The only home team not announced is the game in Brazil. There is still a chance the Bills might have to play internationally – but definitely not in Europe where it is considered overseas and multiple time zones away.
For those curious, here is the full list of home teams playing in the European international games.
Could the Bengals go international next year?
NFL’s 2024 International Games have been revealed, and one of the Cincinnati Bengals’ opponents next year is going to be hosting one of the games.
Five teams will be hosting a game internationally, and the Carolina Panthers were one of the four that were officially announced by the NFL, one of the teams that has shown interest in Bengals’ offensive coordinator Brian Callahan.
The Panthers will host a game in Munich, Germany, at Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern Munich.
The Bengals have not played a game internationally since 2019 when they played the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium in London, where they also played Washington in 2016, the only two they have been a part of.
The other teams announced to host international games next season are Jacksonville, Chicago and Minnesota, each of which takes place in London. None of those three teams is on the Bengals’ schedule.
There will also be a game played in Brazil in 2024, but the team hosting that game hasn’t been announced yet, so it still could be one on the Bengals’ schedule.

We’re looking at the 13 teams that’ll be on the Baltimore Ravens schedule for the 2024 NFL season
The Ravens (13-4) are the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and will have a first round bye after navigating one of the NFL’ most difficult schedules.
With a first place finish in 2023, the schedule will only get even more difficult and after the late Sunday afternoon games, we have some unofficial idea of what the 2024 slate will look like.
Baltimore will play nine games on the road, and eight games at M&T Bank Stadium.
The schedule will be highlighted by matchups against their AFC North foes (Steelers, Bengals, Browns), along with the NFC East, AFC West, along with the AFC South champ, NFC South champ and champion of the AFC East.
Every #Bills opponents, home and away for 2024, is now sorted:
The Buffalo Bills concluded their 2023 NFL regular season against the Miami Dolphins.
It went well.
The Bills finished with an 11-6 record and claimed their fourth-straight AFC East title.
Buffalo will have an opportunity to make it five-straight division crowns in 2024. All attention will now be on the upcoming NFL postseason, but once next season rolls around we do know where and who the Bills will be playing.
We still will have to wait and see when Buffalo plays in terms of time and date, but opponents and locations have now been fully sorted with the conclusion of the 2023 season. The team will have eight games in Orchard Park and another nine away from home.
Sorted by home and road contests, here’s the full list of 2024 Bills opponents:
The Falcons will have the NFL’s easiest strength of schedule once again in 2024
The Atlanta Falcons failed to qualify for the playoffs yet again in 2023, but the team should have a decent chance of ending its six-year postseason drought in 2024.
While the exact order of Atlanta’s 2024 schedule has yet to be revealed, we do know which teams the Falcons will play against next season. For a second consecutive year, it appears that Atlanta will have the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL.
The Falcons are tied with the Saints for the lowest combined opponent winning percentage (.453) in 2024.
2024 Strength of Schedule based on 2023 records
(1 = easiest, 32 = most difficult)
1 #Falcons .453
2 #Saints .453
3 #Bears .467
4 #Panthers .467
5 #Chargers .478
6 #Buccaneers .478
7 #Dolphins .488
8 #Seahawks .488
9 #Cardinals .488
10 #Titans .491
11 #Eagles .491
12 #Colts…— NFL Nerd (@NerdingonNFL) January 8, 2024
Obviously, this is a number that only accounts for each team’s record the previous season and a lot can change from year to year in the NFL. It’s still a good start for whoever the Falcons hire to be their next head coach.

Tampa Bay will play a first-place schedule yet again in 2024, and it includes some daunting opponents.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, as the old adage goes.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are once again kings of the NFC South, and while that earns them a playoff berth and another banner, it comes with a downside — the team must play a first-place schedule for the third season in a row. Once the Bucs clinched, their schedule was set. The team will play the NFC East and the AFC West in 2023, but on top of that, they face off against first-place teams from the NFC West, the AFC North and the NFC North — and they’re quite the formidable opponents.
Here is every team the Bucs will officially play in 2024:
The Jaguars’ list of 2024 opponents is officially set.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ slate of 2024 opponents is officially set after the team finished second in the AFC South with a 9-8 record.
Next season, the Jaguars will play the entire AFC East and NFC North along with one opponent each from the AFC North, AFC West, and NFC East.
The entire schedule with the dates of those games won’t be announced until later in the offseason, as the NFL typically waits until May to reveal the entire slate.
It’s also a guarantee that the Jaguars will play at least one game in London. Last year, the league announced the list of teams that would play overseas in January, so it may not be long before Jacksonville can get the first puzzle piece in place for its 2024 schedule.
Here’s every team the Jaguars will face next season:
Atlanta Falcons: Complete list of opponents for 2024 NFL season
The Atlanta Falcons suffered a 48-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 18, capping off their sixth consecutive losing season. This team has a lot to figure out following Sunday’s dismal performance, but there’s always next year.
While the Falcons’ 2024 schedule hasn’t been released yet, we do know which teams they will play against next season. Check out the full list of opponents on Atlanta’s 2024 schedule below.
Philadelphia Eagles could open up the 2024 NFL season at Lincoln Financial Field, the first season oepner at home since 2019

The Eagles are just 12 days from the start of training camp, and fans look towards the 2023 regular season; the Phillies have clarified the beginning of 2024.
Psssssst. We dropped something.

Philadelphia’s Major League Baseball team revealed their 2024 schedule to fans on Thursday, and they’ll be on the road at the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets during the NFL’s opening kickoff weekend.
The Phillies' 2024 schedule is out, and it's the first time they're on the road during Week 1 of the NFL season since 2019. That was also the last time the Eagles were home for Week 1. Could be a favorable condition for the Eagles finally opening a season at home.

It could be just a coincidence, but it’ll be the first time the Phillies have on the road during Week 1 of the NFL season since 2019.
The Eagles haven’t opened up at home since 2019 season, when they defeated Washington in one of DeSean Jackson’s last productive performances in Philadelphia.
