No Benz, No Problem: Falcons Training Camp Opens in Flowery Branch

If you were hoping to catch the Dirty Birds flying high under the Mercedes-Benz Stadium roof this summer, think again. The team’s 2025 Training Camp is set to take place at the Atlanta Falcons IBM Performance Field, in Flowery Branch.

The good news? Fans will have plenty of opportunities to see the squad in action, including two joint practices with the Tennessee Titans. Even better? All 11 open practices are free to attend. The catch?  Tickets are required, and some dates are already sold out.

Here’s the full open practice schedule:

• Thursday, July 24 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m. (SOLD OUT)
• Saturday, July 26 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m. (SOLD OUT – Back Together Weekend)
• Sunday, July 27 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Tuesday, July 29 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Thursday, July 31 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Monday, August 4 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Tuesday, August 5 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Wednesday, August 6 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Monday, August 11 | IBM Performance Field | 9:30 a.m.
• Tuesday, August 12 | IBM Performance Field | 9:40 a.m. (Joint practice vs. Titans)
• Wednesday, August 13 | IBM Performance Field | 9:40 a.m. (Joint practice vs. Titans)

What to Expect

July 26 marks the NFL’s annual Back Together Weekend, where fans will get to hear from new head coach Raheem Morris, general manager Terry Fontenot, and mingle with former Falcons players. That event, along with opening day on July 24, is already sold out—so if you didn’t secure a ticket, you’ll need to look ahead on the calendar.

Then, on August 12 and 13, things get a bit more competitive. The Falcons will host the Tennessee Titans for joint practices, giving fans an up-close look at how Atlanta stacks up before their preseason matchup on August 15. These sessions offer a rare and valuable window into live-team drills, game prep, and positional battles.

Fan Reminders

All practices are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. (9:40 a.m. for joint practices), with gates opening at 8:30 a.m. Free shuttles will run from nearby parking lots, and all concessions and merchandise sales will be cashless.

Fans should come prepared with sunscreen, water, and energy—temperatures in late July and August can rise quickly. While the experience is family-friendly (including a Kids Zone), it’s worth arriving early to claim a spot on the hill and maximize autograph opportunities after practice.

Final Thoughts

So no, the Falcons won’t be flying into the Benz for training camp this year—but the vibes in Flowery Branch will be strong. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to Rise Up Nation, this is your shot to watch the squad build chemistry, sharpen skills, and set the tone for a new season under Coach Morris.
