Atlanta Hawks

Following another trip to the NBA playoffs, the Hawks are back at it and are intent on returning to the postseason. Superstar Trae Young returns with John Collins alongside him. Also, All-Star Dejounte Murray will join Trae in the

backcourt this season. With that much star power on display, Hawks games will surely be a hot ticket at State Farm Arena. There will be plenty of home games and plenty of promotions to catch as well, so it’s nearly impossible to have a bad night at State Farm Arena watching the Hawks soar above the rim. www.nba.com/hawks

Atlanta United FC

With the city of Atlanta recently being named as one of 11 host cities across North America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, now is the perfect time to get in on the ground level to see why MercedesBenz Stadium is indeed a world-class venue for soccer. Atlanta United will be in action for three home games this fall. The team will host Toronto FC on Sept. 10, Philadelphia Union on Sept.17 and New York City on Oct. 9. With Josef Martínez, Luiz Araújo and Thiago Almada lighting up the pitch and the 17s in the stands bringing the energy, Atlanta United matches are always exciting.

Atlanta Falcons

The new era continues for the Falcons as they play nine home games during the regular season for the first time. Six of the games will come between Week 1 on Sept. 11 and Week 11 on Nov. 20.

With Pro Bowler Kyle Pitts returning to the field and top draft pick Drake London taking the field, the Falcons will be poised to compete with the NFL’s best. As exciting as Mercedes-Benz Stadium is as a soccer venue, it’s just as exciting as a football stadium while still being one of the most affordable venues in the NFL for concessions. www.atlantafalcons.com
