The NFL Draft is behind us. Another hurdle separating us from the 91st season of football in this proud franchiseโs long and storied history has been conquered. The next stop in our offseason journey takes us to the doorstep of rookie minicamp and eventually the release of the Philadelphia Eaglesย 2023 schedule for the coming regular season.
We know who Philly will face. The four members of the AFC East and the four teams residing in the NFC West are on the slate. By virtue of their Super Bowl appearance, the Birds will also face the AFCโs representative in footballโs biggest game last season, the Kansas City Chiefs. That oneโs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Itโs hard not to be excited, but thereโs still much to accomplish during the offseason. Perhaps that means we must pace ourselves and be patient. Thatโs going to be a tough ask, but we promise to do our best. While we wait, hereโs another look at Phillyโs opponents, both home and away, during the 2023 NFL season.
Eagles 2023 home opponents
- Dallas Cowboys
- New York Giants
- Washington Commanders
- Buffalo Bills
- Miami Dolphins
- Arizona Cardinals
- San Francisco 49ers
- Minnesota Vikings
Eagles 2023 away opponents
- Dallas Cowboys
- New York Giants
- Washington Commanders
- New England Patriots
- New York Jets
- Los Angeles Rams
- Seattle Seahawks
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Is it too early to predict a 13 or 14-win season? Whoโs with us? Hey, sue us. Weโre expecting big things.
Hereโs whatโs being whispered about the Eagles 2023 schedule as we approach the NFLโs official release date scheduled for later this month.
Itโs funny how things change as we get older. Once upon a time, good journalism meant, once something was leaked or thrown out for the publicโs consumption, your job was to verify it. Then, you verify it again before you even think about mentioning it in a news piece. Well, it doesnโt quite work that way anymore.
These days, great journalism still encompasses the above plan, but to appease the general public, they want to be made aware of what the rumors are as well (as long as theyโre from credible sources of course).
As long as youโre mature enough to understand that some things must be taken with a grain of salt, have at it. Hey, everybodyโs looking for a little entertainment.
Bookmark this one. Keep those ears to the streets. Intriguing leaks worth paying attention to will be listed below.ย
Guess what? Thereโs a Black Friday Game coming (if you havenโt heard already). In his most recent Football Morning In America write-up, Peter King hinted that heโs on board with a possible Eagles/Giants matchup
"I usually have a good feeling about some of the tentpole games. This year, I have no gut feeling about any of them, except maybe the Black Friday game. The first game ever on Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving is a very big deal for Amazon on the biggest shopping day of the year. I think the leader in the clubhouse for that game is Eagles-Giants. Absolutely not set in stone, though."
Wait! Does that mean, if the Eagles wear those all-black jerseys, that theyโre back to wearing the midnight green helmets with them? Bummerโฆ We were just getting used to the black helmets. Stay tuned. This one might grow legs.
While weโre on the subject, the Eagles have never lost to New York while wearing black.
Update: May 4th
This isnโt as much a schedule leak as it is an interesting story, but two Eagles games this season, their road bouts with the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs, found their way onto the list of NFL.comโs best matchups of the season. Obviously, the game at Arrowhead Stadium versus the K.C. topped the list.
Update: May 9th
Monday opened with theories that the NFLโs schedule release, believed to have been on May 11th, would be delayed. One of the more notable came from NBC Sportsโ Peter King. By the end of the day, a crisis had been averted as ESPNโs Adam Schefter reported the schedule will indeed be released on May 11th.
Now official: The 2023 NFL regular season schedule will be released Thursday, May 11th.

Update: May 10th International games and a Christmas Eve game announced
The international series has been announced. The Eagles wonโt be playing overseas, and thatโs fine with us. That would mean theyโd lose a home game. A Cincinnati Bengals/Kansas City Chiefs New Yearโs Eve game has also been announced.
The rumblings are beginning again though. It sounds like the Eagles were one of the leaders in the clubhouse for Amazonโs Black Friday game, but we can officially announce that will be a game featuring the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. Philly will host the Giants on Christmas Day.
