The NFL announced that it will be releasing the 2018 regular-season schedules for all 32 teams at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night.
To find out when and where the Falcons will be playing next season, be among the first to receive it by downloading our Atlanta Falcons app and make sure to sign up for breaking news alerts (here are the links for iPhone and Android). We'll also have that and plenty more of schedule-related stories on AtlantaFalcons.com following the release.
Here is what we do know about the Falcons' 2018 schedule so far:
- Outside of the three NFC South locations, the five other road games are in cold-weather climates -- Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Green Bay and Landover, Md. It'll be interesting to see how many of those five games end being played in November and December.
- There are no West Coast games in 2018. The Falcons will play all of their games in the Eastern and Central time zones.
