The National Football League (NFL)
The National Football League is the largest professional American football league in the world. The league has 32 teams and is divided into the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference (NFC).
Each team is on a 17-week schedule with 16 games. The season runs from the Thursday after Labor Day in September until late December or early January. Playoff games culminate in the Super Bowl for the winning title.
Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons football has brought NFL football action to Atlanta sports fans for more than 40 years. When the pro football team was created in 1965, the Atlanta Falcons became the first NFL franchise in the southeastern United States. In 1966, the NFL's Atlanta Falcons recorded another first — their first victory, a win over the San Francisco 49ers during pre-season play. Atlanta's favorite football team made its first (and so far only) Super Bowl appearance in 1998. That was the year the Atlanta Falcons won the NFC West Division championship but lost to Denver during Super Bowl XXXIII.
All Atlanta Falcons football home home games are played at the Atlanta's Georgia Dome, located west of downtown. Spring training for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons is based in Flowery Branch, Georgia, an easy drive from Atlanta.
Atlanta Falcons Schedule
The Atlanta Falcons schedule includes eight home games during the regular NFL season (September-December), with two preseason games at the Georgia Dome during August.
