Atlanta Falcons will play London matchup in 2021

On Thursday, the Atlanta Falcons confirmed they will be playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London this upcoming season. The team was set to play a home game in London in 2020, but all international games were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic last season.

The matchup will count as a home game for the Falcons in 2021, and while the opponent has yet to be declared, it won’t be an NFC South team, per ESPN’s Michael Rothstein. Here is the list of possible opponents.

• New England Patriots

• New York Jets

• Washington Football Team

• Detroit Lions

The last time Atlanta played in London was in 2014 when the team lost to the Lions after a second-half comeback by Detroit.
