The Falcons are set to play in the NFL’s International Series next season.

The opponent, the date and site of the game will be determined.

The Falcons played the Detroit Lions on Oct. 26, 2014, in London's Wembley Stadium.

The game will count as a home game, and the Falcons will play a non-NFC South team.

The Falcons are slated to play teams from the NFC North and the AFC West in 2020.

If the season ended today, the Falcons’ other two NFC opponents would be the Arizona Cardinals (NFC West) and the Washington Redskins (NFC East).
