While we're still waiting for the NFL to release the official 2026 schedule (expected around May 13, 2026), we already know all 17 opponents the Eagles will face this fall. Here's the complete breakdown.
When Does the Full Schedule Drop?
The NFL typically releases the full regular season schedule in mid-May. Based on past years, expect the 2026 schedule to be announced between May 12-14, complete with kickoff times and primetime game designations.
Home Games (9 Games at Lincoln Financial Field)
For the first time since 2022, the Eagles have a full nine-game home slate. Here's who's coming to South Philly:
- Dallas Cowboys - NFC East rivalry
- New York Giants - NFC East rivalry
- Washington Commanders - NFC East rivalry
- Pittsburgh Steelers - PA bragging rights on the line
- Houston Texans - AFC South crossover
- Indianapolis Colts - AFC South crossover
- Los Angeles Rams - NFC West crossover
- Seattle Seahawks - NFC West crossover
- Carolina Panthers - First-place schedule matchup
Road Games (8 Away Games)
- at Dallas Cowboys - NFC East rivalry
- at New York Giants - NFC East rivalry
- at Washington Commanders - NFC East rivalry
- at San Francisco 49ers - Potential playoff preview
- at Arizona Cardinals - NFC West crossover
- at Jacksonville Jaguars - AFC South crossover (London game possible?)
- at Tennessee Titans - AFC South crossover
- at Chicago Bears - First-place schedule matchup
First-Place Schedule
Because the Eagles won the NFC East in 2025, they'll face a first-place schedule in 2026. This means matchups against the Panthers (NFC South winners) and Bears (NFC North winners) in addition to the normal rotation.
Games to Circle
Even without knowing the exact dates, a few matchups stand out:
- vs Pittsburgh Steelers - The PA rivalry game is always a fan favorite
- at San Francisco 49ers - Revenge game after last year's Wild Card loss
- vs Houston Texans - CJ Stroud comes to Philly
- at Jacksonville - Could be an international game in London
International Game Possibility
The Eagles are a strong candidate for an international game in 2026. Jacksonville is on the schedule as a road opponent, and the Jaguars frequently host London games. Owner Jeffrey Lurie has prioritized keeping all nine home games in Philadelphia, so any international appearance would be as the visiting team.
What's Next
Stay tuned for the full schedule release in mid-May. We'll break down the week-by-week slate as soon as it drops, including primetime games, bye week placement, and the toughest stretches of the season.
Schedule dates and times will be updated once the NFL makes the official announcement.
