The Falcons’ 2020 list of opponents is set.

With the Falcons win Sunday over the Bucs, Atlanta finished in second place in the NFC South.

A second-place finish means a road game at the NFC East’s Cowboys and a home game against Seattle, who lost to the 49ers in their season finale.

Next season’s away games will be at: Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Carolina, Kansas City, Los Angeles (Chargers), Green Bay, Minnesota and Dallas.

In the home games, the Falcons will face: Bucs, Saints, Panthers, Bears, Lions, Broncos, Raiders (now from Las Vegas) and Seahawks.

One of those "home" games will likely be  in London. The Falcons played the Lions in London in 2014. The Saints followed in 2017. The Seahawks traveled in 2018. The Bucs, Bears and Raiders were in London in 2019. The Broncos haven't played abroad since 2010.
