The Falcons are signed up for an international game next year, which we’ve known for a little while now.  What we don’t know is where and when it’s going to be, but we’re getting a little closer to finding out every week. 

Season ticket holder and Falcons superfan @WonderJaye on Twitter was kind enough to share some notes from a season ticker holder call on Thursday night.  The team pledged to do better in 2020, unsurprisingly, but they also shared some information about the upcoming international game. 

Per the call and WonderJaye, the game will be in the first couple of weeks of October, will more than likely be in London, and the potential opponents on the table are the Broncos and Lions.  It’s worth noting that a lot of this maps to what we saw at the end of December, when comments like this surfaced:

Joe Ellis on the possibility of the Broncos playing in London in 2020: "I haven't heard anything from the league other than I pestered and begged them. ...  I put in a personal request to (Falcons owner) Arthur Blank. ...  I think it'd be good for the franchise." —  Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 30, 2019

Chances are none of this will be confirmed until we get the schedule release in the spring, but it looks exceedingly likely it’ll be a London game in October, and I’d be willing to bet the Broncos are the team that head over. 

Anyone here planning to go?
