Eagles Schedule Release Leaks: Confirmed Opponents and Dates, Including Primetime Matchups

The Philadelphia Eagles schedule already is coming into place.

The opponents have been set for months, but the dates and times are not official. There are some games that have leaked around the NFL, thanks to network upfronts and international games already determined on the calendar.

The Eagles are a part of those network upfronts, as one of their biggest matchups of the year is official. Philadelphia will travel to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, playing in the 4:30 p.m. ET time slot on Fox. The Eagles will also be playing the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, a source confirmed to Eagles On SI. That game is scheduled for Week 5.

CBS has the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game this year (1 p.m. ET), Fox has the Cowboys game (4:30 p.m. ET), while NBC has the primetime game (8 p.m. ET).

These are the Eagles opponents for 2026.

Home: Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, Panthers, Texans, Colts, Rams, Steelers, Seahawks

Road: Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, Bears, Cardinals, Jaguars, 49ers, Titans

With the international game confirmed, we will have to wait for primetime games that are going to be on the docket. Perhaps even a Christmas week game or late-season Saturday game -- as this schedule for 2026 will be unlike any other.

Here are all the Eagles games that have been reportedly leaked (all times ET). This will be filled out as the schedule comes out throughout the week.

Week 1: vs. Washington Commanders

Date: Sun., Sept. 13

Time: 4:25 p.m.

Network: TBD

The Eagles will host the Commanders in the season opener, the second straight Week 1 game at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles have technically been the home team in Week 1 of each of the last three seasons.

The Eagles last played the Commanders to open the season in 2020. They also opened against the Commanders in 2017, but both games were at Northwest Stadium.

Week 3: at Chicago Bears (Monday Night Football)

Date: Mon. Sept. 28

Time: 8:15 p.m.

Network: ABC/ESPN

The Eagles head to Chicago for a primetime matchup with the Bears, the first of several primetime slates on the 2026 schedule. Philadelphia is heading to Soldier Field for the first time since the 2022 season, and haven't lost in Soldier Field since 2010.

This will be a showdown in what could be the Eagles final trip to Soldier Field as the Bears are searching for a new stadium. The Eagles will be searching for revenge against the Bears for the Black Friday blowout last year.

Week 5: at Jacksonville Jaguars (London)

Date: Sun., Oct. 11

Time: 9:30 a.m.

Network: NFL Network

The Eagles will play in London for the second time in franchise history, against the same opponent in the Jaguars. The previous matchup against the Jaguars in London was in 2018 at Wembley Stadium, but this one will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Philadelphia will be the road team in this one, as the Eagles were eligible to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars or Washington Commanders in London or the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City. The Eagles will draw the Jaguars again, and won't be playing the Jaguars in Jacksonville for the second consecutive time they were the road team against the Jaguars.

The Eagles haven't played a road game in Jacksonville since 2010.

Week 8: at Washington Commanders (Sunday Night Football)

Date: Sun., Nov. 1

Time: 8:20 p.m.

Network: NBC

The first of the Eagles matchups with the Commanders has been confirmed, a league source told Eagles on SI. The Eagles will play on "Sunday Night Football" against the Commanders at Northwest Stadium.

Jaden Hurts and Jayden Daniels is a box office matchup, and made for primetime. The Eagles are 32-20 against the Commanders since 2000, as teh NFC East rivalry has renewed with the Commanders making the NFC Championship Game two years ago.

Week 12: at Dallas Cowboys

Date: Thurs., Nov. 26 (Thanksgiving)

Time: 4:30 p.m.

Network: Fox

The Eagles will play on Thanksgiving for the first time since the 2015 season, holding a 6-1 record all time on Thanksgiving Day. This is the second consecutive year the Eagles did not play on Sunday of Thanksgiving week, as they hosted the Black Friday Game last year.

This is the first time the Eagles will play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving since 2014 and the third time overall. The Eagles are 2-0 against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

This is the latest standalone matchup between the Eagles and Cowboys, as the teams have played in a standalone television window in 22 of the last 23 seasons. The only year the Eagles and Cowboys didn't play in a standalone game was the 2024 season (and no games were flexed).

Week 15: vs. Seattle Seahawks

Date: Sat., Dec. 19

Time: 5 p.m.

Network: Fox

The Eagles will play the Seahawks at Lincoln Financial Field on the Saturday prior to Christmas Eve, giving them an extra day off before their "Thursday Night Football" appearance.

The Eagles are 0-8 in their last eight meetings against the Seahawks, as they haven't won a game in the series since 2008. Philadelphia hasn't won a home game against Seattle since 1989, losing seven straight games to the Seahawks at home (including playoffs).

Week 16: vs. Houston Texans (Christmas Eve)

Date: Thurs., Dec. 24

Time: 8:15 p.m.

Network: Prime Video

The Eagles will play in a primetime game on Christmas Eve against the Texans in what will be the only game on that date. The Texans game is part of the "Thursday Night Football" package, so that fulfills the TNF obligations that each team has to play one TNF game a year (Thanksgiving is not considered a TNF game).

The Eagles have never lost to the Texans, going 6-0 against them all-time. The Texans are the only NFL franchise the Eagles have never lost to.
