5 most intriguing games on the Eagles' 2026 schedule

The Philadelphia Eagles once again enter the season with massive expectations after becoming one of the NFL's premier franchises over the past five years. Philadelphia's 2026 schedule features everything from revenge games and division rivalries to international travel and heavyweight NFC battles. With primetime appearances scattered throughout the season and several games carrying potential playoff implications, here are the five most intriguing matchups on the Eagles’ 2026 regular-season schedule.

5. Week 1: Commanders at Eagles The season opens with immediate NFC East drama as the Washington Commanders travel to Lincoln Financial Field for a Week 1 showdown. Washington could develop into Philadelphia's biggest threat inside the division, making this opening matchup far more important than a typical season opener.

Throw in the potential departure of A. J. Brown, and the addition of OC Sean Mannion, and a fast start in the NFC East race could prove critical later in the year.

4. Week 5: Eagles vs. Jaguars in London International games are always unpredictable, and the Eagles will head overseas for a Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
