For the first time in two seasons, the New Orleans Saints will play a primetime game, as they will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. It will be a Monday Night Football anniversary, marking 20 years since the Superdome reopened following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Because the team has been mediocre – at best – since the departure of Drew Brees, it may seem like there haven’t been a ton of primetime games for the Saints since he left, but the Oct. 5 contest vs. Atlanta actually will be the 14th night game for New Orleans since 2021.

The Saints also will play a standalone game on Oct. 25 in Paris against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game scheduled to be broadcasted on the NFL Network.

Here’s the entire schedule with dates, times and TV network, as announced May 14, including preseason:
