There is no more waiting. The Philadelphia Eagles' 2026 schedule is officially out.

After multiple leaks, the NFL has officially announced the schedule for the 2026 season. Here is who the Eagles will be playing in the 17-game season:

  • Week 1: vs. Washington Commanders
  • Week 2: at Tennessee Titans
  • Week 3: at Chicago Bears (MNF)
  • Week 4: vs. Los Angeles Rams
  • Week 5: at Jacksonville Jaguars (London)
  • Week 6: vs. Carolina Panthers
  • Week 7: vs. Dallas Cowboys (MNF)
  • Week 8: at Washington Commanders (SNF)
  • Week 9: vs. New York Giants
  • Week 10: BYE
  • Week 11: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Week 12: at Dallas Cowboys (Thanksgiving)
  • Week 13: at Arizona Cardinals
  • Week 14: vs. Indianapolis Colts
  • Week 15: vs. Seattle Seahawks (Saturday)

  • Week 17: at San Francisco 49ers (SNF)
  • Week 18: at New York Giants (Saturday/Sunday Flex)

Initial thoughts on Eagles' 2026 schedule

The incredible part of the Eagles' schedule is how often they have a standalone game. They have a total of eight, with the potential of a ninth depending on the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants.

A big difference between the 2025 and this year's schedules is that the Eagles got a break with the back-to-back home games. Last year, they had zero of those, but this year they have three incidents with back-to-back home games.

One downside is that the Eagles will face a massive challenge at the end of the year. They are on the road twice in the last four games and have to play teams like the Seahawks on a short week, the Texans on Thursday night, the 49ers on a Sunday night road game, and the Giants in MetLife Stadium.
