While many are still reviewing the 2026 Philadelphia Eagles regular season schedule, there's also the preseason one to review and plan to watch.

The NFL released the 2026 preseason schedule, with the Eagles set to play three weeks of games. They will face all AFC teams, with the farthest trip being to Foxborough.

Week 1 - August 15 at Baltimore Ravens 7:00 pm EST
Week 2 - August 22 at New England Patriots 7:00 pm EST
Week 3 - August 28 vs. Cincinnati Bengals 8:00 pm EST (CBS)

Eagles' 2026 preseason schedule is out

Philly's final preseason game against the Bengals is the only one that will be on national television, as that will be on CBS. Most likely, based on the trend that Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has shown, they will probably not have their starters or key backups playing in that game, so guys like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Carter, Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and more will sit that game out.

The most anticipated game on the schedule, though, is the New England Patriots game, as it will be the first matchup against A.J. Brown after his trade from Philly earlier in the week. It's not known if he will play in that game, but there's a chance he could play a series or two before resting as he builds his chemistry with Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

Baltimore has been a staple of the Eagles' preseason schedule, as it is usually them, the New York Jets, or both on the calendar. It's the first time in nearly two decades that former Eagles special teams coordinator John Harbaugh isn't on the opposite side of the field as the Ravens' head coach, as Jesse Minter holds that position now.
