There are just two more days before Philadelphia Eagles fans find out what the 2026 NFL schedule looks like, but there is already hope that they will have a massive advantage over most teams in the league.
The NFL shared the strength of schedule for each team, based on the combined winning percentage of all its opponents in 2025. Philly got the better end of the deal, as they have the 10th-easiest schedule, with opponents' combined winning percentage at .481.
Here are the teams the Eagles will be facing in 2026:
2026 Home Games
- Washington Commanders
- Dallas Cowboys
- New York Giants
- Los Angeles Rams
- Seattle Seahawks
- Houston Texans
- Indianapolis Colts
- Carolina Panthers
- Pittsburgh Steelers
2026 Away Games
- Washington Commanders
- Dallas Cowboys
- New York Giants
- Chicago Bears
- Arizona Cardinals
- San Francisco 49ers
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Tennessee Titans
Eagles have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL in 2026
The only confirmed game for the Eagles in 2026 is a Week 12 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium. It's the third time the Eagles will play the Cowboys on that holiday, with the last Thanksgiving Day meeting coming in 2014, when Philly won 33-10.
What helps is that the Eagles are playing the good opponents like the Rams, Seahawks, and Steelers at home instead of traveling on the road. There are some tough road opponents, though, as well, with the Bears, 49ers, and Jaguars all away from Lincoln Financial Field.
The hope is that the Eagles will have a more favorable schedule this year than last, after a tough stretch of multiple road games in a row to end the 2025 season. Philly could use an easier schedule, with the NFC East improving and the Eagles trying to repeat as division champs.

While the winning percentage might be lower than the stats show, it still won't be easy for the Eagles, but at the same time, it's much needed so that they can potentially make a run for the Super Bowl for the third time in five years.
