The 34-year-old Haitian international is under contract through 2026 with an option through June 2027.
Picault won the MLS Cup last season with Inter Miami, recording four goals in 20 regular-season matches.
“I first met Fafa two decades ago at a clinic for the Haitian community while I was playing for Miami Fusion,” Atlanta chief soccer officer and sporting director Chris Henderson said. “Just a kid at the time, his pace, quality, and joy for the game stood out. I followed his journey closely and worked to bring him to Inter Miami CF.
“Now, after winning MLS Cup this past season, it’s special for me to welcome him to Atlanta United. He has been a productive player in this league for a long time, and he brings experience, professionalism, and championship mentality to our group. For me, this signing is truly full circle, and I’m thrilled we could make it happen.”
Picault has recorded 60 goals and 28 assists in 244 career games with six teams since his MLS debut in 2017. He has played for the Philadelphia Union, FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, Nashville SC, Vancouver Whitecaps and Miami.
Atlanta United will open the 2026 MLS regular season at FC Cincinnati on Saturday.
