The 2026 season is the tenth season of Atlanta United FC's existence, and the eighteenth year that a professional soccer club from Atlanta, Georgia competed in the top division of American soccer. Atlanta United plays its home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Outside of MLS, the club is participating in the U.S. Open Cup for the first time since 2024.

After the conclusion of its worst season in club history, Atlanta United fired head coach Ronny Deila on October 19, 2025.^[1] Less than a month later, on November 6, the club announced the hiring and return of former head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino. Tata previously coached Atlanta United for two years, from the inaugural 2017 season to the 2018 season, in which they won the 2018 MLS Cup.^[2]

Atlanta United FC will play six consecutive road matches from May to August due to their home venue, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, being unavailable during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The regular season will also pause for several weeks during the tournament.^[3]
