The Philadelphia Eagles have unveiled their 2026 schedule, and fans are buzzing with excitement. This season, they’ll travel across the pond for a match against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It’s their first London game since 2018, where they previously secured a solid win.
Standout moments include two “Monday Night Football” games. They’ll face the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys in back-to-back weeks. Plus, they have key games on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, making this season one to watch.
Interestingly, the Eagles will cover over 22,000 miles this season, ranking ninth in the NFL for travel distance. Their schedule is also on the easier side, sitting at the tenth easiest, which might be a blessing as they aim for a playoff comeback after last year’s first-round exit.

- Week 1: Sept. 13 vs. Washington Commanders
- Week 2: Sept. 20 at Tennessee Titans

Analysts predict a good year for the Eagles, estimating a win total around 10.5 to 10.9. The season kicks off against the Commanders, and divisional rivalries will be key. From late October through early November, they battle three NFC East teams, culminating in the exciting Thanksgiving game against the Cowboys. This’ll be their first Thanksgiving matchup in Dallas since 2014.
Mark your calendars for the Dec. 19 game against the defending champion Seahawks. This match could have significant playoff implications. Historically, the Eagles have struggled against Seattle, winning just once since 2008.
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on quarterback Jalen Hurts. Monday nights have been a mixed bag for him; his performance fluctuates, and he’ll need to step it up on those primetime stages. Despite some struggles, he has shown flashes of greatness, including a stellar game against the Vikings in 2022. Fans are eager to see if he can carry this momentum into the new season.
This NFL season promises to be explosive. With rivalries, travel, and high stakes, there’s plenty for fans to look forward to. Keep an eye on the Eagles as they strive to reclaim their spot at the top.
