What channel is the Steelers-Falcons game on today? Start time, announcers, and more
By Tommy Jaggi
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons are squaring off in an out-of-conference Week 1 season opener. These two uncommon opponents play each other just once every four years, but both teams are itching to get off to a hot start in 2024.
Mike Tomlin's is in Atlanta today as they gear up for hard-hitting action. This is the Arthur Smith reunion game, as the Steelers' offensive coordinator was the head coach of the Falcons for from 2021-2023 before joining Pittsburgh during the 2024 offseason.
In many ways, the Steelers and Falcons are mirror images of each other. Both teams have aging quarterbacks on new teams and one go-to receiver in the passing game. Perhaps their biggest similarity is their dedication to the rushing attack.
Fortunately, finding the Steelers vs. Falcons game on TV should be a sinch for much of the country.

Steelers and Falcons recent outcomes:
Mike Tomlin has a spotless record against the Atlanta Falcons in his head coaching career, as the Steelers have won four straight games against the Falcons dating back to 2010. The Pittsburgh Steelers' all-time record against Atlanta is nearly as impressive, as they have gone 15-2-1 against this opponent since 1968, according to The Football Database.
In their most recent matchup in December of 2022, Tomlin and the Steelers narrowly escaped with a road win over the Falcons in a 19-16 low-scoring affair. Pittsburgh's previous win wasn't convincing, but Tomlin would sign up for a close victory today if it meant escaping Week 1 with a 1-0 record.
Expect both defenses to be firing on all cylinders as new quarterbacks take the field for the Steelers and Falcons for the first time in the regular season.
