Full Saints 2022 Schedule Reportedly Leaks Ahead of Official Announcement

Entire schedules for NFL teams during the 2022 season are not supposed to be officially announced until Thursday night on NFL Network. Matchups have been leaking left and right over the last few days, though, and now the full New Orleans Saints schedule has been released on NOLA.com.

New Orleans Saints 2022 Schedule

The Saints schedule is highlighted by a Week 4 contest against the Minnesota Vikings that will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. New Orleans also has three other primetime games listed that include a pair of Monday Night Football games and one Thursday Night Football matchup.

Head coach Dennis Allen's squad will travel to take on the Arizona Cardinals on TNF during Week 7 action before taking on the Ravens in an away MNF game in Week 9. The final primetime matchup is another road affair as the Saints battle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a crucial Week 13 MNF game.

It's also worth pointing out that New Orleans does not have a bye week directly following their international game. That instead comes all the way at Week 14, so it'll be a quick turnaround for the players. Time off toward the end of the season could ultimately help prepare for the home stretch.

The Saints open the season with a divisional matchup against the Atlanta Falcons and close the season in a divisional matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Their passionate fan base will have to hope a fairly manageable schedule can help the team win its first Super Bowl title in over a decade.
