FAQ (Questions You Might Have)

1. What is a "Preseason" game?
Think of it like a scrimmage or a dress rehearsal. The score doesn’t count for the playoffs or standings. Coaches use it to see how new players look and decide who makes the final team.

2. Do I need cable to watch this?
Nope! If you are in Atlanta, you stream it free on the FOX5 site/app. If you are outside Atlanta, you just need the NFL+ app subscription (it’s cheaper than cable).

3. What is NFL+?
It is the NFL’s official streaming service. For a monthly fee, you get live preseason games, live local/primetime regular season games (on mobile/tablet), and game replays.

4. Why is the game in Madrid, Spain?
The NFL plays "International Series" games in other countries to grow the sport globally. In Week 9, the Falcons are the "home" team but the game is at the famous Real Madrid soccer stadium (Bernabeu)!

5. Why are some games labeled "TBD"?
"TBD" means To Be Determined. The NFL picks exact times and TV channels for late-season games later in the year so they can put the best matchups in prime time (Sunday Night, Monday Night, etc.).
